        "Description": "GOLD daytime disk scan (DAY) measurements are used to derive the ratio of the column abundance of \n\t  thermospheric O relative to N2, conventionally referred to as O/N2 or ΣO/N2, but abbreviated to ON2 for the GOLD \n\t  data product. ON2 is derived for each valid dayside Level 1C pixel for approximately 68 disk scan measurements \n\t  performed per day by GOLD in nominal operation.\n\t  \n\t  Algorithm heritage\n      The disk ON2 retrieval algorithm was originally developed by Computational Physics, Inc. (CPI) for use with \n\t  GUVI and SSUSI radiance images (Strickland et al., 1995). The GOLD implementation of this algorithm takes \n\t  advantage of GOLD’s ability to transmit the full spectrum to maximize the signal-to-noise ratio and eliminate \n\t  atomic emission lines that contaminate the N2 LBH bands (e.g., N I 149.3 nm). This algorithm has been \n\t  extensively documented and applied over the past several decades (e.g., Evans et al. [1995]; \n\t  Christensen et al. [2003]; Strickland et al. [2004]).\n\n\t  Algorithm theoretical basis\n      The geophysical parameter retrieved, O/N2, is the ratio of the vertical column density of O relative to N2, \n\t  defined at a standard reference N2 depth of 1017 cm-2, which is chosen to minimize uncertainty in the derived \n\t  O/N2. It is retrieved directly from the ratio of the O I 135.6 nm and N2 LBH band intensities measured by GOLD \n\t  on the dayside disk (DAY measurement mode). The AURIC atmospheric radiance model (Strickland et al. [1999]) is \n\t  used to derive this relationship as a function of solar zenith angle and to create the look-up table (LUT) used \n\t  by the algorithm.\n\n      References\n      Christensen, A.
