Element Description

An identifier indicating the level at which the data in the collection are processed, ranging from level 0 (raw instrument data at full resolution) to level 4 (model output or analysis results).

Best Practices

It is recommended that the processing level align with the EOSDIS data processing levels if at all possible. The EOSDIS data processing levels are: 0, 1A, 1B, 2, 3, 4. Please see the EOSDIS Data Processing Levels policy page for a more detailed description of each of the processing levels. It is recommended that processing levels be assigned in a consistent manner for all datasets from a data provider. A processing level Id is required.

The processing level description is an optional field used to provide details on the processing level. Ideally the description should be a brief summary which aids the user in understanding the degree to which the source data has been processed. The level of detail provided in the description may varyThe description may range from very generic (e.g. "Model derived") to more specific (e.g. "Radiometrically calibrated and orthorectified using ground control points and SRTM digital elevation model (DEM) data to correct for relief displacement. Data is provided in digital numbers."

Examples:

Id: "4"

Description: "This data product is model derived."

Id: "1B"

Description: "Radiometrically calibrated and orthorectified using ground control points and SRTM digital elevation model (DEM) data to correct for relief displacement. Data has been converted from digital numbers to top of atmosphere (TOA) reflectance."

ARC Priority Matrix

Priority Categorization	Justification
	This element is categorized as highest priority when: The processing level Id is not included at all. The processing level Id is included but is empty. The processing level for an EOSDIS dataset does not match an EOSDIS processing level. The processing level provided is incorrect for the dataset. The processing level description contains a spelling or grammatical error. The processing level description incorrectly describes the processing level provided.
	This element is categorized as medium priority when: A non-EOSDIS dataset, being re-distributed via EOSDIS, does not match an EOSDIS processing level. A recommendation is made to improve the syntax of the processing level description.
	This element is categorized as low priority when: A recommendation is made to update the processing level description to match a recommended processing level Id change. The first letter of the processing level description is not capitalized. A recommendation is made to update a link in the processing level description from 'http' to 'https'. A miscellaneous inconsistency is noted in the processing level description.
	The element is provided, and follows all applicable criteria specified in the best practices section above.
