In plain English

What it measures. Provides cloud information and scene-uniformity data from one spectral band, as a technical helper product.

How it's made. Comes from TROPOMI's band 7 on ESA Copernicus's Sentinel-5P satellite, reprocessed as a Level-2 product for a consistent archive.

How & where you'd use it. Used internally to help quality-check and improve other Sentinel-5P products; not a standalone dataset for general use.
