AB: In January 2004, the NASA EOS-Aura satellite is scheduled for launch, as part of the successful Earth Observing Satellite series, with onboard the Ozone Monitoring Instrument. OMI is a nadir-viewing UV-VIS spectrometer, with a 2600 km wide swath, and a 13x24 km2 footprint, guaranteeing daily global coverage. This combination of daily global coverage and excellent spatial resolution is unprecedented and is expected to provide an enhanced view of processes involving ozone on a global scale. This paper gives an overview of the OMI ozone profile product for potential users. We identify six different groups of users: tropospheric ozone, data assimilation, ozone trend analysis, total ozone column, SO2 column and other EOS-Aura ozone products. We indicate benefits as well as potential hazards when using the OMI ozone profile product.
