Abstract:
We now have a ten year record of total column ozone from Aura OMI that continues the long term record tracking the change in global ozone. OMI has proven to be one of the most stable ozone monitoring instruments ever flown. OMI ozone agrees well with that from the Merged Ozone Dataset (MOD) created by combining data from a series of SBUV/2 instruments. OMI ozone is 1.5% lower than that from MOD, but this is explained almost entirely by the use of the older Bass and Paur ozone cross sections. Similarly, OMI ozone agrees well with ozone from an average of 73 northern hemisphere Dobson and Brewer stations, and OMI ozone also agrees well with data from the recently launched OMPS ozone nadir mapper on NPP for the two year period of overlap.
