OMI/Aura Ozone(O3) Total Column 1-Orbit L2 Swath 13x24 km V004 (OMTO3) at GES DISC

The Aura Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) Level-2 Total Column Ozone Data Product OMTO3 (Collection Version 004) is available from the NASA Goddard Earth Sciences Data and Information Services Center (GES DISC) for the public access. This level-2 global total column ozone product (OMTO3) is based on the enhanced TOMS version-8 algorithm that essentially uses the ultraviolet radiance data at 317.5 and 331.2 nm at a pixel resolution of 13 x 24 km at nadir. OMI hyper-spectral measurements help in the corrections for the factors that induce uncertainty in ozone retrievals (e.g., cloud and aerosol, sea-glint effects, profile shape sensitivity, SO2 and other trace gas contamination). In addition to the total ozone values this product also contains some auxiliary derived and ancillary input parameters including N-values, effective Lambertian scene-reflectivity, cloud fraction, cloud pressure, ozone below clouds, terrain height, geolocation, solar and satellite viewing angles, and quality flags. The shortname for this Level-2 OMI total column ozone product is OMTO3. The algorithm for this product was originally developed by a team led by Dr. Pawan K. Bhartia at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. The current product lead is Dr. Can Li.The OMTO3 files are stored in the version 5 EOS Hierarchical Data Format (HDF-EOS5). Each file contains data from the day lit portion of an orbit (~53 minutes). There are approximately 14 orbits per day. The maximum file size for the OMTO3 data product is approximately 35 MB.
