HICO file contents

I was examining the contents of the HICO HDF5 files ... the top of atmosphere radiances are in the products/Lt dataset. But what does the dataset called "hico" in the "data" group contain? I couldn't find any metadata information within the HDF file for it.
Thanks!
Jasmine.

Hi Jasmine,
When we first set up HICO processing here at the OBPG,
we were inadvertently including a copy of the level-0
data in the level-1B files we were making. This substantially
increased the file sizes unnecessarily. The /data/hico
dataset is now no longer included in our L1B products.
Compare, for example, these two scenes
http://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov/cgi/browse.pl?file=H2013171234141.L1B_ISS_BRShttp://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov/cgi/browse.pl?file=H2013351153124.L1B_ISS_BRSand note the difference in the compressed file sizes
(337,910,091 bytes versus 139,753,524 bytes).
Regards,
Norman
