Description

The Aura Ozone Monitoring Instrument level-2 near UV Aerosol data product OMAERUV (Version 004) is available from the NASA Goddard Earth Sciences Data and Information Services Center (GES DISC) for the public access. The OMAERUV retrieval algorithm is developed by the US OMI Team Scientists. Dr. Omar Torres (GSFC/NASA) is the principal investigator of this product. The OMAERUV product contains Aerosol Optical Depth, Aerosol Single Scattering Albedo, Absorption Optical Depth, UV Aerosol Index, and Aerosol Optical Depth over clouds at three wavelengths (354, 388, and 500 nm), and other ancillary and geolocation parameters, in the OMI field of view (13x24 km).

The OMAERUV files are stored in the version 4.0 Network Common Data Form (NetCDF). 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 OMAERUV data product is about 17 Mbytes.
