Description

The Aura Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) Level 1B (L1B) Zoom-in Earthshine UV Radiance, Zoom-mode (shortname OML1BRVZ) Version 4 product contains geolocated Earth view spectral radiances from the VIS detectors in the wavelength range of 349 to 504 nm taken in the zoom-in measurement mode. In the zoom-in mode, OMI observes 60 ground pixels (13 km x 12 km at nadir) across the swath (~750 km width) for each of the 751 channels of Band 3 (349-504 nm). There are approximately 14 files of orbital data per day. Each file contains data from the daylit portion of an orbit and is roughly 240 MB in size. This OML1BRVZ zoom-in mode product is only available about once a month. The data in the OML1BRVZ files are stored in the Network Common Data Form (netCDF) format. The lead algorithm scientist for the OMI Level 1 products is Dr. Quintus Kleipool of the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institude (KNMI).
