This poster provides an overview of the computer system that provides community access to atmosphere
measurements derived from backscatter ultraviolet sources. It is funded by NASA's Advancing Collaborative
Connections for Earth-Sun System Science (ACCESS), and is devoted to Measurements of Atmospheric
Composition in the Ultraviolet. The purpose is to provide "one-stop shopping" for data and information of
interested to the Backscattered Ultraviolet (BUV) community. It is built from the well-used, highly successful Total
Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) web site, and is being evolved into a broader focus for the BUV community.
This effort supports NASA's evolutionary step toward science measurement processing and analysis systems,
and enables the BUV community to easily access information and expertise from multiple sources over a nearly
30 year history of space-based remote sensing of the atmosphere. It facilitates finding algorithms and scientific
results from different parts of the BUV science community as well as from different instruments and missions. It
provides the means to access the products of the Ozone Community Oriented Measurement-based Processing
System (ComPS). The system contains components that store and manage data, manage user access to that
data, provide multi-dimensional views of the data and other information, serve data based on user criteria, and
facilitate on-line collaboration. The web site hosts Algorithm Theoretical Basis documents, quality assessment
of data products, published papers, instrument descriptions, access to mission information, reports and
assessments of events and issues, problem reporting and tracking, a moderated forum, and a user collaboration
area. Visitors to the web site fall into several categories: the general public; students, educators, and
researchers outside the BUV community; members of the BUV community who validate the measurements;
members of the community who develop algorithms and software. Access to the information, data, and tools
hosted on the site is managed based on the category of each visitor. The general public may view and download
only information and data approved by NASA for public release.
