Description

ICON Night time Oplus climatology. The L3 FUV Night Limb files are produced from the L2.5 ICON FUV Night files.
All variables within the file are described in their Var_notes attribute. The data are identified in one of 2 var_types: data – which
contains the primary data product and support data – which contains parameters used in the retrieval such as geometry etc. that may also
be useful in any analysis of this data. This single file spans the whole mission
