Of the following nine V groups, five V groups, Scan-Line Attributes, Raw ADEOS Data, OCTS Level 1B Data, Converted Telemetry, and Navigation, contain data that are functions of scan lines. That is, each data object within these V groups have data for each scan line and is therefore dimensioned by the value of the global attribute, Number of Scan Lines. Thus, to get all the data corresponding to a specific scan line, n, the n th values of all data objects in these five V groups would need to be read.
