The Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) along with the other three instruments MLS, HIRDLS and TES is flown (July 2004) on the
Aura satellite. OMI is a nadir imaging sensor which measures ultraviolet and visible solar and earth-atmosphere radiances in
the wavelength range of 270 to 500 nm with a spectral resolution of about 0.5 nm, and a spatial resolution of 13x24 km2
(http://www.knmi.nl/omi). OMI is the primary instrument on Aura for tracking the expected recovery of the ozone layer, the
sources of aerosol and its transport over oceans and continents, and trace gases that effect air quality.
The primary data product from OMI is total column ozone. The other major products are tropospheric ozone, nitrogen dioxide,
sulfur dioxide, and aerosol optical depth (four of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's six criteria pollutants),
formaldehyde, bromine monoxide, chlorine dioxide, cloud fraction and height, and surface erythemal UV-B irradiances. After
preliminary validation (based on limited in-situ observations), some of these products (version 2.0) are released to the
public and are available from Goddard Earth Sciences Data and Information Services Center Distributed Active Archive Center
(GES DISC DAAC (http://acdisc.gsfc.nasa.gov/).
This presentation will provide an overview of the OMI data products and its applications, along with the software and web
based on-line tool (OMI Giovanni) that have been developed for the subsetting, manipulation and analysis of these data.
Details of the data access and data mining tools will be provided in another presentation (see J. Johnson et al. at this AGU
session).
