Ozone and Atmospheric Chemistry Products


Solar Backscatter Ultraviolet Version 2 (SBUV/2)

SBUV/2 Sample Image

The SBUV/2 is a non-scanning, nadir viewing (field-of-view directly below the satellite track) instrument designed to measure scene radiance in the spectral region from 160 to 400 nm. SBUV/2 data are used to determine total and profile ozone in the atmosphere, and solar spectral irradiance. Products include a 1B Capture product (navigated and calibrated 1B data) in binary format, as well as a Product Master File (PMF) in binary or BUFR.

POES Resolution: 200 km along nadir Frequency: Orbital or Daily

Total Ozone Analysis from SBUV and TOVS (TOAST)

TOAST Sample Image

TOAST is a near real-time operational ozone map generated by combining TOVS tropospheric and lower stratospheric (4 to 23 km) ozone retrievals with SBUV/2 spatially smoothed mid-to-upper stratospheric (24 to 54 km) layer ozone retrievals. Products are imagery (png), binary or GRIB format.

POES Resolution: 1 Deg x 1 Deg Frequency: Daily

Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment-2 (GOME-2)

GOME Sample Image

GOME-2 is a European instrument flying on the METOP series of satellite. NESDIS products are derived based on the SBUV/2 version 8 algorithm. Currently a total ozone product is operational, which includes aerosol index and reflectivity. Products are imagery (gif), binary or BUFR. Also available is a 1x1.25 deg map in ASCII or GRIB2 format. We also extract the Magnesium II index (MgII) information into a daily ASCII file for our solar and space users.
