OMI DATA PRODUCTS & DATA ACCESS

Almost all OMI Level 2 and Level 3 Version-3 products based on better calibrated OMI Level-1B Radiance Products (V003) and enhanced retrieval algorithm are now Available.

See New Product:  OMI Surface Reflectance Climatology (based on 2004-2007 data)

Alert!     Two Recent Anomalies (one starting since June 2007 and other since May 2008), have been observed in the OMI Measurements. The anomalies are currently under investigation.  Recently Level-3 Products have been re-produced after filtering out the suspected scenes. Be cautious since the current Level 1B and Level-2 and Level2G data have not been flagged or corrected for these anomalies, Read more

Users are advised to read data quality and validation documents (provided by the algorithm leads) before using these data for research purposes.

Two Recent Known Data Anomalies

(1) Between 25 and 27 June 2007, a change occurred in the OMI instrument such that in the cross track scenes 54-55 (1- based) a decrease in the radiance signal of about 20-30% under illuminated conditions is observed over the complete illuminated part of the orbit.  All wavelengths in the UV2 and VIS channels are affected by this effect.

(2) Since 11 May 2008, another signal suppression has been observed in the across-track scenes 38-43 in the UV2 & VIS channels, but only for northern latitudes, at Solar Zenith Angles(SZA) larger than 44.0 degrees for the affected rows (though data at lower SZAs is also suspect). It is recommended not to use the affected scenes at all latitudes and SZAs for now.

The anomalies are currently under investigation to examine whether correction for the effect can be implemented in the level 1b data. No correction has been implemented at the moment. It is recommended not to use the affected data for now.
