Sentinel-5p NO2 data processing
*******************************

This chapter describes the tasks performed for processing Sentinel-5p NO\ :sub:`2` data.


.. _s5p-no2-product:

Product description
===================

The product guides can be found at:

* `Sentinel-5p / Products and Algoritms <https://sentinels.copernicus.eu/web/sentinel/technical-guides/sentinel-5p/products-algorithms>`_

  * ``L2__NO2___``, ``PUM-NO2`` Product User Manual

Features:

* The retrieval product is a column density (mol/m2), which will be treated by CSO as a profile
  with :math:`n_r=1` layers:

  .. math::
      \mathbf{y}_r

* The simulation of a retrieval product from a model state does not require an apriori profile,
  and should be computed from:

  .. math::
      \mathbf{y}_s ~=~ \mathbf{A}^{trop}\ \mathbf{V}\mathbf{G}\ \mathbf{x}
    
  where:

  * :math:`\mathbf{y}_s` is the simulated retrieval (mol/m2) defined on :math:`n_r=1` layers;
  * :math:`\mathbf{A}^{trop}` is the *tropospheric* averaging kernel matrix with shape :math:`(n_r,n_a)`,
    with :math:`n_a` the number of *a priori* layers;
  * :math:`\mathbf{x}` is the atmospheric state, which probably consists of a 3D array of NO\ :sub:`2` concentrations;
  * operators :math:`\mathbf{G}` and :math:`\mathbf{V}` together compute a simulated profile 
    at the :math:`n_a` *a priori* layers from the state, using horizontal (:math:`\mathbf{G}`)
    and vertical (:math:`\mathbf{V}`) mappings;
    units should be the same as the retrieval product (mol/m2).

  In case :math:`\mathbf{x}^{true}` is the true atmoshperic state, the retrieval error is quantified
  by the *retrieval error covariance* :math:`\mathbf{R}` (in this scalar product a variance):
  
  .. math::
      \mathbf{y}_s ~-~ \mathbf{A}^{trop}\ \mathbf{V}\mathbf{G}\ \mathbf{x}^{true}  ~\sim~ \mathcal{N}\left(\mathbf{o},\mathbf{R}^{trop}\right)
    
* The retrieval status and quality is indicated by the ``qa_value``. 
  The recommended minimum is 0.75, this excludes cloudy scenes and other problematic retrievals.

* Multiple *cloud fraction* variables are present. For filtering NO2 retrievals, the best variable seems::
  
    float cloud_fraction_crb_nitrogendioxide_window(time, scanline, ground_pixel) ;
      proposed_standard_name = "effective_cloud_area_fraction_assuming_fixed_cloud_albedo" ;
      units                  = "1" ;
      long_name              = "Cloud fraction at 440 nm for NO2 retrieval" ;
      radiation_wavelength   = 440.f ;
      assumed_cloud_albedo   = 0.8f ;


.. _no2-kernels:

Averaging kernels
=================

The *tropospheric* averaging kernel should be computed from:

.. math::
    \begin{array}{cclcc}
      \mathbf{A}^{trop}[:,l] &=& \frac{M}{M^{trop}[:]}\ \mathbf{A}[:,l] &,& l\ \leq\ l_{tp} \\
                             &=& 0                                   &,& l\ >\ l_{tp}
    \end{array}

using the following variables from the data file:

* :math:`\mathbf{A}(n_r,n_a)` is the *total column averaging kernel* [1]; 
    note that in the current product :math:`n_r=1`
* :math:`M` is the scalar *total column airmass factor* [1];
* :math:`M^{trop}(n_r)` is the  *tropspheric column airmass factor* [1]; in this product it is a sclar;
* :math:`l_{tp}` is the index of the layer holding the tropopause in the *a priori* profile
  [number within :math:`1,..,n_a`].

The *air mass factor* is the ratio between the optical thickness of the NO2 in the slant column 
(observed part of the irradiated atmosphere) and the optical thickness in the vertical column
(perpendicular to the earth's surface).
The air mass factors in the product are based on simulations with the TM5 global atmospheric model,
which are currently on a rather coarse resolution of 0.5x0.5 degrees horizontally.
As a consquence, the air mass factors do not represent the strong gradients that are present
near emission hot spots.
Luckily, as long as the averaging kernels are used to simulate a retrieved product,
a comparison between the simulation and the retrieval is independend of the air mass factors that are used.

This property can be exploited to replace the original retrieval and tropospheric averaging kernel
(that depend on the TM5 *a priori* profile) by alternative versions that are based on other simulations,
for example a high-resolution CTM.
Concentration maps of the retrieval or its simulation will then likely to show more detail where strong gradients
are present.
Following the formulas in the *Product User Manual*, the first step is to compute an alternative
tropospheric airmass factor using the alternative *a priori* profile :math:`\hat{\mathbf{x}}_a`
(note that this equation is only valid for :math:`n_r=1`):

.. math::
    \hat{M}^{trop}(\hat{\mathbf{x}}_a) ~=~ M^{trop} ~ \left(\mathbf{A}^{trop}\ \mathbf{V}\mathbf{G}\ \hat{\mathbf{x}}_a\right) ~/~  (\sum_{l=1}^{l_{tp}} (\mathbf{V}\mathbf{G}\ \hat{\mathbf{x}}_a)_l)

This is used to obtain the alternative retrieval and tropospheric averaging kernel as
scalled versions of the original variables:

.. math::
     \begin{eqnarray}
       \hat{\mathbf{y}}_r(\hat{\mathbf{x}}_a)      &=& \frac{M^{trop}}{\hat{M}^{trop}(\hat{\mathbf{x}}_a)}\ \mathbf{y}_r \\
       \hat{\mathbf{A}}^{trop}(\hat{\mathbf{x}}_a) &=& \frac{M^{trop}}{\hat{M}^{trop}(\hat{\mathbf{x}}_a)}\ \mathbf{A}^{trop} \\
       \hat{\mathbf{R}}^{trop}(\hat{\mathbf{x}}_a) &=& \left(\frac{M^{trop}}{\hat{M}^{trop}(\hat{\mathbf{x}}_a)}\right)^2\ \mathbf{R}^{trop}
     \end{eqnarray}
           
A simulation of the retrieval from the same model concentrations becomes:

.. math::
    \begin{eqnarray}
      \hat{\mathbf{y}}_s(\hat{\mathbf{x}}_a)
        &=& \hat{\mathbf{A}}^{trop}(\hat{\mathbf{x}}_a)\ \mathbf{V}\mathbf{G}\ \hat{\mathbf{x}}_a \\
        &=& \frac{M^{trop}}{\hat{M}^{trop}(\hat{\mathbf{x}}_a)}\ \mathbf{A}^{trop}\ \mathbf{V}\mathbf{G}\ \hat{\mathbf{x}}_a \\
        &=& \frac{M^{trop}}{M^{trop}\ \left(\mathbf{A}^{trop}\ \mathbf{V}\mathbf{G}\ \hat{\mathbf{x}}_a\right)\ /\ (\sum_{l=1}^{l_{tp}} (\mathbf{V}\mathbf{G}\ \hat{\mathbf{x}}_a)_l)}\ \mathbf{A}^{trop}\ \mathbf{V}\mathbf{G}\ \hat{\mathbf{x}}_a \\
        &=& \sum_{l=1}^{l_{tp}} (\mathbf{V}\mathbf{G}\ \hat{\mathbf{x}}_a)_l
    \end{eqnarray}

Thus, if the concentration profile of a local model is used as *a priori* instead of the TM5 profile,
then the simulated tropospheric column retrieval is actually the full tropospheric model column.

The impact of the local airmass factor is illustrated in the figure below.
The top row shows an example of the original retrieval product and simulation by the LOTOS-EUROS model
using standard tropospheric kernel.
The bottom row shows the same using local airmass factor corrections, which shows sharper gradients.

   *Illustration of airmass factor correction. Top row: original NO2 retrieval and LOTOS-EUROS simulation
   using standard tropospheric kernel. Bottom row: similar using airmass factor correction.*

Note that an assimilation procedure is indifferent of the scaling, 
since the same factor is applied to observations, the simulations, and the representation error. 
Using the notation:

.. math::
    \mathbf{H} ~=~ \mathbf{A}\ \mathbf{V}\mathbf{G}
    
for the combined horizontal, vertical, and kernell operators,
the result of the analysis update that is used in the Kalman filter is:

.. math::
    \mathbf{x}^a ~=~ \mathbf{x}^f ~+~ \mathbf{P}\ \mathbf{H}^T\ 
      \left(\ \mathbf{H}\ \mathbf{P}\ \mathbf{H}^T\ +\ \mathbf{R}\ \right)^{-1}\ 
      \left(\ \mathbf{y}_r\ -\ \mathbf{H}\ \mathbf{x}^f\ \right)

and the observation part of the cost function used in variational assimilation is:

.. math::
    J_o(\mathbf{x}) ~=~ 
      \left(\ \mathbf{y}_r\ -\ \mathbf{H}\ \mathbf{x}\ \right)^T
      \ \mathbf{R}^{-1}\ \left(\ \mathbf{y}_r\ -\ \mathbf{H}\ \mathbf{x}\ \right)

Both equations remain the same when using the local-airmass correction, 
assuming that the retrieval error  covariance is used for the observation-representation-error :math:`R`. 
If :math:`R` is constructed using other contributions, for example based on grid cell representation, 
then these contributions should be revised following the new (airmass corrected) observations 
and simulations.



CSO processing
==============

*(See* :ref:`tutorial` *chapter for introduction to CSO scripts and configuration)*

An example configuration of the CSO processing of the S5p/NO\ :sub:`2` data is available via
the following settings:

* `config/Copernicus/cso.rc <../../../config/Copernicus/cso.rc>`_

  Top-level settings that configure the job-tree with various sub-tasks.
  This is a generic file that could be used for multiple S5 products, 
  edit it to select the NO\ :sub:`2` processing.
   
* `config/Copernicus/cso-user-settings.rc <../../../config/Copernicus/cso-user-settings.rc>`_

  User-specific settings such as the work directory.
  
* `config/Copernicus/cso-s5p-no2.rc <../../../config/Copernicus/cso-s5p-no2.rc>`_
  
  Specific settings for NO\ :sub:`2` product.

Start the job-tree using::

  ./bin/cso  config/Copernicus/cso.rc
  
Selected sub-steps in the processing are described below.

.. _s5p-no2-inquire:

Inquire Sentinel-5p/NO2 archives
================================

S5p/NO2 observations from KNMI have been available from at least these sources:

* `Copernicus DataSpace <https://dataspace.copernicus.eu/>`_;
  see the :ref:`cso-dataspace` module for a detailed description.

  *This is the operational version.*

* `Product Algorithm Laboratory <https://www.s5p-pal.com/>`_, or more specif, the
  `S5P-PAL Data Portal <https://data-portal.s5p-pal.com/>`_;
  see the :ref:`cso-pal` module for a detailed description.
  
  *2023-03-30: The PAL NO2 data set will be brought offline, use the operational version instead.*
  
Data is available for different processing streams, each identified by a 4-character key:

* ``NRTI`` : `Near real time`, available with a day after observation;
* ``OFFL`` : `Offline`, available within weeks after observations;
* ``RPRO`` : re-processing of all previously made observations;
* ``PAL_`` : re-processed data stored on the *Product Algorithm Laboratory* portal.

The portals provide data files created with the same retrieval algorithm, but most recent data
(latest processor version) might be available on only one of the portals.
It is therefore necessary to first inquire both archives to see which data is available where,
and what the version numbers are.

The :py:class:`CSO_DataSpace_Inquire <cso_dataspace.CSO_DataSpace_Inquire>` class is available to inquire the
*Copernicus DataSpace*. The settings used by this class allow selection
on for example time range and intersection area. 
The result is a csv file which with columns for keywords such as orbit number and processor version,
as well as the filename of the data and the url that should be used to actually download the data::

    orbit;start_time;end_time;processing;collection;processor_version;filename;href

    :

See the section on *File name convention* in the *Product User Manual* for the meaning of all 
parts of the filename.

A similar class :py:class:`CSO_PAL_Inquire <cso_pal.CSO_PAL_Inquire>` class is available to list the content
of the *Product Algorithm Laboratory* portal. Also this will produce a table file.

To visualize what is available from the various portals, the
:py:class:`CSO_Inquire_Plot <cso_inquire.CSO_Inquire_Plot>` could be used to create an overview figure:

.. figure:: figs/NO2/Copernicus_S5p_NO2.png
   :scale: 50 %
   :align: center
   :alt: Overview of available NO\ :sub:`2` processings.

The jobtree configuration to inquire the portals and create the overview figure could look like::

    ! single step:
    cso.s5p.no2.inquire.class                      :  utopya.UtopyaJobStep
    ! two tasks:
    cso.s5p.no2.inquire.tasks                      :  table-dataspace plot

    !~ inquire files available on DataSpace:

.. _s5p-no2-convert:

Conversion to CSO format
========================

The '``cso.s5p.no2.convert``' task converts orbit files downloaded from a portal into a CSO format.

Files are downloaded from a portal if not present locally yet; eventually they are also removed
after conversion to avoid that the portal is completely mirrored.

To save storage, only selected pixels are included in the converted files,
for example only those within some region or cloud free pixels.
The selection criteria are defined in the settings, and added
to the '``history``' attribute of the created files as reminder.

The work is done by the :py:class:`.CSO_S5p_Convert` class,
which is initialized using the settings file::

  ! task initialization:
  cso.s5p.no2.convert.class     :  cso.CSO_S5p_Convert
  cso.s5p.no2.convert.args      :  '${PWD}/config/Copernicus/cso-s5p-no2.rc', rcbase='cso.s5p.no2.convert'
  
See the class documentation for the general configuration,
below some specific choices are described.
The example is based on the S5p NO\ :sub:`2` file from which the header is available in:

* `doc/samples/S5P_OFFL_L2__NO2____20190601T011830_20190601T030000_08451_01_010301_20190607T025115.txt <../../samples/S5P_OFFL_L2__NO2____20190601T011830_20190601T030000_08451_01_010301_20190607T025115.txt>`_


Orbit file selection
--------------------

Based on the inquiry the download and conversion could be limitted to files created with the most recent processor versions.

For the S5P files a useful property is also the *collection number*, a 2-digit number that defines a collection of files
(or actually processor versions) that together form a contineous series. The *collection number* is extracted from the filename,
and stored as a column of the listing file.

The following setting is used to select specific files from the archive based on the properities stored
in the listing file::

    ! Provide ';' seperated list of to decide if a particular orbit file should be processed.
    ! If more than one file is available for a particular orbit (from "OFFL" and "RPRO" processing),
    ! the file with the first match will be used.
    ! The expressions should include templates '%{header}' for the column values.
    ! Example to select files from collection '03', preferably from processing 'RPRO' but otherwise from 'OFFL':
    !   (%{collection} == '03') and (%{processing} == 'RPRO') ; \
    !   (%{collection} == '03') and (%{processing} == 'OFFL')
    !
    cso.s5p.no2.convert.selection                     :  (%{collection} == '03') and (%{processing} == 'RPRO') ; \
                                                         (%{collection} == '03') and (%{processing} == 'OFFL')


Pixel selection
---------------
        
The :py:class:`.CSO_S5p_Convert` class calls the :py:meth:`.S5p_File.SelectPixels` method
to create a pixel selection mask for the input file.
The selection is done using one or more filters.
First provide a list of filter names::

  cso.s5p.no2.convert.filters   :  lons lats valid quality cloud_fraction

Then provide for each filter the the input variable to be used for testing,
as a path name in the input file.
The next settings is the type of filter to be used, see the :py:meth:`.S5p_File.SelectPixels` for supported types,
and the other settings required by the type.
The following is an example of a selection on longitude::

  cso.s5p.no2.convert.filter.lons.var                :  Geolocation Fields/Longitude
  cso.s5p.no2.convert.filter.lons.type               :  minmax
  cso.s5p.no2.convert.filter.lons.minmax             :  -30.0 45.0
  cso.s5p.no2.convert.filter.lons.units              :  degrees_east
  

Variable specification
----------------------
    
The target file is created as an :py:class:`.CSO_S5p_File` object.
It's :py:meth:`AddSelection <.CSO_S5p_File.AddSelection>` method is called with the input object as argument,
and this will copy the selected pixels for variables specified in the settings.

The variable specification starts with a list with variable names to be 
created in the target file::

  cso.s5p.no2.convert.output.vars   :  longitude longitude_bounds \
                                      latitude latitude_bounds \
                                       track_longitude track_longitude_bounds \
                                       track_latitude  track_latitude_bounds \
                                       time \
                                       vcd vcd_errvar \
                                       pressure kernel_trop amf amf_trop l_tp nla \
                                       qa_value \
                                       cloud_fraction

For each variable settings should be specified that describe the shape of the variable
and how it should be filled from the input.
See the :py:meth:`AddSelection <.CSO_S5p_File.AddSelection>` description for all options,
here we show some examples.

The ``longitude`` and ``latitude`` variables are copied almost directly out of the source files,
the only change that is applied is the selection of pixels.
All original attributes are copied, except for the ``bound`` attribite since that would
give warnings from the CF-compliance checker::

  cso.s5p.no2.convert.output.var.longitude.dims                   :   pixel
  cso.s5p.no2.convert.output.var.longitude.from                   :   PRODUCT/longitude
  cso.s5p.no2.convert.output.var.longitude.attrs                  :   { 'bounds' : None }

  cso.s5p.no2.convert.output.var.latitude.dims                    :   pixel
  cso.s5p.no2.convert.output.var.latitude.from                    :   PRODUCT/latitude
  cso.s5p.no2.convert.output.var.latitude.attrs                   :   { 'bounds' : None }

Also the locations of the pixels in the original track are copied,
since these are useful when creating plots. These cannot be copied directly but require special processing::

  cso.s5p.no2.convert.output.var.track_longitude.dims             :   track_scan track_pixel
  cso.s5p.no2.convert.output.var.track_longitude.special          :   track_longitude
  cso.s5p.no2.convert.output.var.track_longitude.from             :   PRODUCT/longitude
  cso.s5p.no2.convert.output.var.track_longitude.attrs            :   { 'bounds' : None }

  cso.s5p.no2.convert.output.var.track_latitude.dims              :   track_scan track_pixel
  cso.s5p.no2.convert.output.var.track_latitude.special           :   track_latitude
  cso.s5p.no2.convert.output.var.track_latitude.from              :   PRODUCT/latitude
  cso.s5p.no2.convert.output.var.track_latitude.attrs             :   { 'bounds' : None }

The observattion times are constructed from time steps relative to a reference time;
this requires special processing too::

  cso.s5p.no2.convert.output.var.time.dims                        :   pixel
  cso.s5p.no2.convert.output.var.time.special                     :   time-delta
  cso.s5p.no2.convert.output.var.time.tref                        :   PRODUCT/time
  cso.s5p.no2.convert.output.var.time.dt                          :   PRODUCT/delta_time

The observed vertical column density could be copied directly.
The target shape is ``(pixel,retr)`` where ``retr`` is the number of layers in the retrieval product (1 in this case)::

  ! vertical column density:
  cso.s5p.no2.convert.output.var.vcd.dims                         :   pixel retr
  cso.s5p.no2.convert.output.var.vcd.from                         :   PRODUCT/nitrogendioxide_tropospheric_column

In the converted files, the retrieval error is always expressed as a (co)variance matrix,
to facilitate (future) conversion of profile products.
In this example, it is filled from the square of the error standard deviation::

  ! error variance in vertical column density (after application of kernel),
  ! fill with single element 'covariance matrix', from square of standard error:
  ! use dims with different names to avoid that cf-checker complains:
  cso.s5p.no2.convert.output.var.vcd_errvar.dims                  :   pixel retr retr0
  cso.s5p.no2.convert.output.var.vcd_errvar.special               :   square
  cso.s5p.no2.convert.output.var.vcd_errvar.from                  :   PRODUCT/nitrogendioxide_tropospheric_column_precision_kernel
  !~ skip standard name, modifier "standard_error" is not valid anymore:
  cso.s5p.no2.convert.output.var.vcd_errvar.attrs                 :   { 'standard_name' : None }

The averaging kernel is applied on atmospheric layers, defined by pressure levels.
In this product the pressure levels are defined using hybride-sigma-pressure coordinates,
and this requires special processing::

Averaging kernels are converted to matrices with shape ``(layer,retr)``.
Here, the averaging kernels of the tropospheric product should be computed using a ratio
between total and tropospheric airmass factors::

Output files
------------

The name of the target files should be specified with a directory and filename;
the later could include a template for the orbit number::

    ! output directory and filename:
    ! - times are taken from mid of selection, rounded to hours
    ! - use '%{orbit}' for orbit number
    cso.s5p.no2.convert.output.filename     :  /Scratch/CSO-data/Europe/S5p/NO2/C03/%Y/%m/S5p_NO2_%{orbit}.nc

A flag is read to decide if existing files should be renewed or kept::

    cso.s5p.no2.convert.renew                  :  True     
    
The target file is created as an :py:class:`.CSO_S5p_File` object.
It's :py:meth:`AddSelection <.CSO_S5p_File.AddSelection>` method is called with the input object as argument,
and this will copy the selected pixels for variables specified in the settings.
The :py:meth:`Write <.CSO_File.Write>` method creates the file.

Global attributes for the target file should be specified with::

    ! global attributes:
    cso.s5p.no2.convert.output.attrs               :  format Conventions author institution email
    !

Listing file
============
    
A *listing* file contains the names of the converted orbit files,
and the time range of pixels in the file::

    filename                     ;start_time                   ;end_time                     ;orbit

    :

This file will be used by the observation operator to selects orbits with pixels valid for 
a desired time range.

A listing file is for example created using the :py:class:`.CSO_S5p_Listing` class.
In the settings passed to the class, define the name of the file to be created::

    ! csv file that will hold records per file with:
    ! - timerange of pixels in file
    ! - orbit number
    <rcbase>.file        :   /Scratch/CSO/S5p/listing-NO2-Europe.csv

An existing listing files is not replaced,
unless the following flag is set::

    ! renew table?
    <rcbase>.renew           :  True

Orbit files are searched within a timerange::

    <rcbase>.timerange.start        :  2018-06-01 00:00
    <rcbase>.timerange.end          :  2018-06-03 23:59

Specify filename filters to search for orbit files;
the patterns are relative to the basedir of the listing file,
and might contain templates for the time values.
Multiple patterns could be defined; if for a certain orbit number more than one
file is found, the first match is used.
This could be explored to create a listing that combines reprocessed data
with near-real-time data::

    <rcbase>.patterns            :  CO3/%Y/%m/S5p_*.nc

.. _s5p-no2-catalogue:

Catalogue
=========

The :py:class:`CSO_Catalogue <.cso_catalogue.CSO_Catalogue>` class could be used
to create a catalogue of images for the converted files.
Configuration could look like::

    ! catalogue creation task:
    cso.s5p.no2.catalogue.task.figs.class  :  cso.CSO_Catalogue
    cso.s5p.no2.catalogue.task.figs.args   :  '${PWD}/config/Copernicus/cso-s5p-no2.rc', \
                                                rcbase='cso.s5p.no2.catalogue'

The configuration describes where to find a *listing* file with orbits, 
which variables should be plot, the colorbar properties, etc.
See :py:class:`CSO_Catalogue <.cso_s5p.CSO_Catalogue>` class description for how
the settings in general look like.

The class creates figures for a list of variables::

  ! variables to be plotted:
  cso.s5p.no2.catalogue.vars                    :  vcd vcd_errvar qa_value \
                                                      cloud_fraction cloud_radiance_fraction

By default the catalogue creator simply creates a map with the value of the a variable on the track.
Optionally settings could be used to specifiy a different unit, or the value range for the colorbar::

  ! convert units:
  cso.s5p.no2.catalogue.var.vcd.units          :  umol/m2
  ! style:
  cso.s5p.no2.catalogue.var.vcd.vmin           :   0.0
  cso.s5p.no2.catalogue.var.vcd.vmax           :  50.0

Figures are saved to files with the basename of the original orbit file and the plotted variable::

    /Scratch/CSO/catalogue/2018/06/01/S5p_RPRO_NO2_03278__vcd.png
                                      S5p_RPRO_NO2_03278__qa_value.png
                                      :

.. figure:: figs/NO2/S5p_RPRO_NO2_03278__vcd.png 
   :scale: 50 %
   :align: center
   :alt: S5p NO\ :sub:`2` columns

To search for interesting features in the data, 
the :py:class:`Indexer <utopya_index.Indexer>` class could be used to create index pages.
Configuration could look like::

    ! index creation task:
    cso.s5p.no2.catalogue.task.index.class     :  utopya.Indexer
    cso.s5p.no2.catalogue.task.index.args      :  '${PWD}/config/Copernicus/cso-s5p-no2.rc', \
                                                   rcbase='cso.s5p.no2.catalogue-index'

When succesful, the index creator displays an url that could be loaded in a browser::

    Browse to:
      file:///Scratch/CSO/catalogue/index.html

.. figure:: figs/NO2/CSO_NO2_catalogue.png
   :scale: 50 %
   :align: center
   :alt: Index for S5p NO2 columns



Configuration of observation operator
=====================================

The *observation operator* described in chapter ':ref:`obsoper`' requires settings from
an rcfile.

First specify the (relative) location of the *listing* file with orbit file names and time ranges::

    ! template for listing with converted files:
    <rcbase>.listing           : ../S5p/RPRO/NO2/CAMS/listing.csv

The S5p data contains data defined on orbit tracks, this should be read from the files::

    ! also read info on original track (T|F)?
    ! if enabled, this will be stored in the output too:
    <rcbase>.with_track        :  T

The operator should read variables from the data files that are needed to simulate a retrieval
from the model arrays.
This includes for example the pressures that define the *a priori* layers, the averaging kernel,
and for this product, the airmass factor and tropopause level.
Specify a list of names for these variables::

  ! data variables:
  tutorial.S5p.no2.dvars             :  hp yr vr A M nla
  
Example settings::

  ! half-level pressures:
  !~ dimensions, copied from data file:
  tutorial.S5p.no2.dvar.hp.dims      :  layeri
  !~ source variable:
  tutorial.S5p.no2.dvar.hp.source    :  pressure

  ! retrieval:

  ! tropospheric airmass factor
  !~ dimensions, copied from data file:
  tutorial.S5p.no2.dvar.M.dims       :  retr
  !~ source variable:
  tutorial.S5p.no2.dvar.M.source     :  amf_trop

  ! number of apriori layers in retrieval layer:
  !~ dimensions, copied from data file:
  tutorial.S5p.no2.dvar.nla.dims     :  retr
  !~ source variable:
  tutorial.S5p.no2.dvar.nla.source   :  nla

For the simulated values, also define a list of variable names that should be created::

  ! state varaiables to be put out from model:
  tutorial.S5p.no2.vars                         :  mod_conc mod_hp mod_tcc mod_cc xs ys Sx M_m A_m yr_m ys_m

Sim-Catalogue
=============

The :py:class:`CSO_SimCatalogue <.cso_catalogue.CSO_SimCatalogue>` class could be used
to create a catalogue of images for the converted files.
Configuration could look like::

The configuration describes where to find a *listing* file with orbits, 
which variables should be plot, the colorbar properties, etc.
See :py:class:`CSO_SimCatalogue <.cso_s5p.CSO_SimCatalogue>` class description for how
the settings in general look like.

The class creates figures for a list of variables::

  ! variables to be plotted:
  cso.s5p.no2.catalogue.vars                    :  yr ys

By default the catalogue creator simply creates a map with the value of the a variable on the track.
Optionally settings could be used to specifiy a different unit, or the value range for the colorbar::

    ! variable:
    cso.s5p.no2.sim-catalogue.var.yr.source          :  data:vcd
    ! convert units:
    cso.s5p.no2.sim-catalogue.var.yr.units           :  umol/m2
    ! style:
    cso.s5p.no2.sim-catalogue.var.yr.vmin            :   0.0
    cso.s5p.no2.sim-catalogue.var.yr.vmax            :  50.0

    ! variable:
    cso.s5p.no2.sim-catalogue.var.ys.source          :  state:y
    ! convert units:
    cso.s5p.no2.sim-catalogue.var.ys.units           :  umol/m2
    ! style:
    cso.s5p.no2.sim-catalogue.var.ys.vmin            :   0.0
    cso.s5p.no2.sim-catalogue.var.ys.vmax            :  50.0

Figures are saved to files with the basename of the original orbit file and the plotted variable::

     file://Scratch/cso-catalogue/NO2//2018/06/01/S5p_RPRO_NO2_20180601_1200_yr.png
                                                  S5p_RPRO_NO2_20180601_1200_ys.png
                                      

.. figure:: figs/NO2/S5p_RPRO_NO2_20180601_1100_ys.png 
   :scale: 50 %
   :align: center
   :alt: S5p NO2 columns

To search for interesting features in the data, 
the :py:class:`Indexer <utopya_index.Indexer>` class could be used to create index pages.
Configuration could look like::

    ! index creation task:
    cso.s5p.no2.catalogue.task.index.class     :  utopya.Indexer
    cso.s5p.no2.catalogue.task.index.args      :  '${PWD}/config/Copernicus/cso-s5p-no2.rc', \
                                                   rcbase='cso.s5p.no2.catalogue-index'

When succesful, the index creator displays an url that could be loaded in a browser::

    Browse to:
      file://Scratch/cso-catalogue/NO2/index.html

.. figure:: figs/NO2/CSO_NO2_sim-catalogue.png
   :scale: 50 %
   :align: center
   :alt: Index for Simulated and S5p NO\ :sub:`2` columns
