OMPS-NPP L2 LP USask Ozone (O3) Vertical Profile swath daily V1.1

The USask OMPS-LP L2 2D Ozone v1.1 product provides ozone profile retrievals performed at the University of Saskatchewan for the central slit of the Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite Limb Profiler (OMPS-LP) instrument on the Suomi-NPP satellite. The two-dimensional retrieval algorithm accounts for variation in the along orbital track dimension, retrieving an entire orbit simultaneously instead of treating each image independently. Ozone is retrieved from the thermal tropopause to 59 km on a 1 km grid with a vertical resolution of approximately 2 km.

Each granule contains data from the daylight portion of each orbit measured for a full month. Spatial coverage is global (-82 to +82 degrees latitude), and there are about 14.5 orbits per day, each has typically 160 profiles with an along orbital track sampling of 125 km. The files are written using NetCDF4.
