S-NPP Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite provisional operations performance

The Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite (OMPS), launched on-board the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership Spacecraft (S-NPP) on October 28, 2011, has been in operation for more than one year. It continues 40 years ozone study missions by providing the S-NPP science community with data products of ozone in the Earth´s atmosphere. The sensor as well as the associated mission data processing system, the Interface Data Processing Segment (IDPS), necessary to process the Raw Data Records (RDRs) into Sensor Data Records (SDRs) and Environmental Data Records (EDRs), has been extensively calibrated and evaluated during the early orbit check and intensive calibration and validation (ICV). This paper will summarize the provisional SDR performance as well as the modifications of the IDPS SDR algorithm based on needs identified during the EOC and ICV. Examples of the first 18 month´s sensor calibration parameters trending will be provided.
