Description

L0

Level 0

Raw data

L1a

Level 1a

Count values in FITS format

L1b

Level 1b

Flipped and rotated version of L1a with summary of geometry information in FITS format, and detailed geometry information in FITS format

L2b

Level 2b

Calibrated physical quantity with geometry information in FITS format

L3

Level 3

Calibrated physical quantity on longitude–latitude grids in NetCDF format which is preprocessed using the limb-fitting technique for pointing correction of the camera, including corrected geometry information

  1. Definitions of the Akatsuki data-processing levels, which are common in UVI, IR1, IR2, and LIR instruments. The L1b, L2b, and L3 data products will be open to the public at the Akatsuki Science Data Archive (http://darts.isas.jaxa.jp/planet/project/akatsuki/)
