Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite

The Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite measures the ozone layer in our upper atmosphere—tracking the status of global ozone distributions, including the ‘ozone hole.’ It also monitors ozone levels in the troposphere, the lowest layer of our atmosphere. OMPS extends out 40-year long record ozone layer measurements while also providing improved vertical resolution compared to previous operational instruments. Closer to the ground, OMPS’s measurements of harmful ozone improve air quality monitoring and when combined with cloud predictions; help to create the Ultraviolet Index, a guide to safe levels of sunlight exposure. OMPS has two sensors, both new designs, composed of three advanced hyperspectralimaging spectrometers.The three spectrometers: a downward-looking nadir mapper, nadir profiler and limb profiler. The entire OMPS suite currently fly on board the Suomi NPP spacecraft and are scheduled to fly on the JPSS-2 satellite mission. NASA will provide the OMPS-Limb profiler.

臭氧测绘与剖析套件（OMPS）负责监测我们高层大气中的臭氧层，追踪全球臭氧分布的现状，包括‘臭氧空洞’的形成。此外，该套件还对对流层中的臭氧水平进行监测，对流层是大气层中最底层。OMPS不仅延续了40年的臭氧层测量记录，而且相较于之前的运行仪器，在垂直分辨率上得到了提升。接近地面，OMPS对有害臭氧的测量有助于改善空气质量监测，并且与云预测数据相结合，有助于构建紫外线指数，作为衡量阳光照射安全水平的指南。OMPS配备了两个传感器，均为全新设计，由三个高级超光谱成像光谱仪组成。这三个光谱仪分别为向下观测的视场测绘仪、视场剖析仪和边缘剖析仪。OMPS套件目前搭载在苏omi NPP航天器上，并计划在JPSS-2卫星任务中运行。NASA将提供OMPS边缘剖析仪。
