Abstract :
A new suite of instruments to estimate atmospheric ozone by measuring scattered solar irradiance began operating in January 2012. The measurements will be used to continue existing records of atmospheric ozone profiles as part of the NOAA Joint Polar Satellite System. This paper presents preliminary evaluations of these new products.
