Comparing OMI-TOMS and OMI-DOAS total ozone column data

[1] The Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) project team uses two total ozone retrieval algorithms in order to maintain the long-term record established with Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) data as well as to improve the ozone column estimate using the hyperspectral capability of OMI. The purpose of this study is to assess where the algorithms produce comparable results and where the diff...

OMI Algorithm Theoretical Basis Document Volume II OMI Ozone Products

Preface Background The Ozone Monitoring Instrument OMI is a Dutch-Finnish ozone monitoring instrument that will fly on NASA's Aura Mission, part of the Earth Observation System (EOS), scheduled for launch in January 2004. OMI's measurements of ozone columns and profiles, aerosols, clouds, surface UV irradiance, and the trace gases NO 2 , SO 2 , HCHO, BrO, and OClO fit well into Aura's mission g...

Scientific highlights of SCIAMACHY and OMI

Introduction The Netherlands are actively involved in atmospheric composition measurements from space since 1995 with measurements from the GOME, sCIAMAChY and OMI satellite instruments. The MetOp satellite series with GOME-2 onboard will continue these measurements until 2020, thereby providing an important global climate data record. KNMI plays an active and often leading role in the analysis...
