Description

The OMI/Aura Formaldehyde (HCHO) Total Column Daily L3 Weighted Mean Global 0.1deg Lat/Lon Grid (OMHCHOd). The formaldehyde values in each file are the average for 0.1 x 0.1 degree grid cell of cloud-screened total HCHO columns for a single day.

Other variables included in the files are the weight of each grid cell, the standard error of column averages, mean albedo, mean cloud fraction, mean cloud pressure, and surface height. The weight information is useful for combining data from several files and reducing the noise of the retrievals by co-adding in the temporal or spatial dimensions.

The OMHCHOd files are in the netCDF4 format which is compatible with most HDF5 readers and tools. Each file contains daily data from approximately 15 orbits. The maximum file size for the OMHCHOd data product is about 80 Mbytes.
