Calibration team • Quintus Kleipool (KNMI) • Marcel Dobber (KNMI) • Glen Jaross (SSAI / NASA) • Support by TMCF team: • Nico Rozemeijer • Remco Braak
Status CCD detectors: Pixels with permanently increased dark current as function of time • 03 June 2008 (1418 days after launch) • UV: 43% of all unbinned pixels (image area) • VIS: 45% of all unbinned pixels (image area) • As expected, still increasing linearly.
Optical degradation • Optical degradation: • Smaller than 2% in UV1, smaller than 1% in UV2 and VIS. Sun, UV2 channel WLS, VIS channel
GDPS status • v1.0.0: • Used for reprocessing in ECS-3. • Same version as 0.9.18. • v1.1.0: • changes in wavelength assignment algorithm: • avoid large wavelength shifts from erronous small pixel column (SPC) signals. • interchangeably use SPC UV2-VIS when necessary. • clip irradiance goniometry correction algorithm. • additional float field in level-1b irradiance. • possibility for pixel-dependent noise. • v1.1.1: • bug fix in attitude and ephemeris L0PP.
OPF status • OPF 41 → TDOPF • for GDPS v1.0.0, used for reprocessing. • started using TDOPF in forward mode with orbit 16307 (9 August 2007). • OPF 43 • OPF parameters for GDPS v1.1.0 and v1.1.1. • OPF 44 → TDOPF • Updated SAA definition parameters. • for GDPS v1.1.1 • started using TDOPF in forward mode with orbit 19950 (15 April 2008).
Current processing collection 3 • Used for processing in ECS-3: • GDPS 1.1.1 as of 15 April 2008. • TDOPF software + system, version 13.02. • Integrated TMCF PGEs. • OPFs are updated automatically daily with automatic quality checks.
Row anomaly row 53 (UV2, VIS) • In row 53 in UV2 and VIS in level-1b data (0-based). • Suppresses signals by 20-30% in UV2 and VIS over complete illuminated orbit. • At the north pole the signal decrease changes into signal increase (sun light reflection). • Not visible in UV1. • Not visible in sun or WLS measurements. • First appeared around 25-27 June 2007. • Seems to have optical origin rather than electronical. • Can be seen in level-0, level-1b and level-2 data.
Row anomaly May 2008 • Rows 18-21 in UV1, 38-41 in UV2 and VIS in level-1b data (0-based). • First appears on 11 May 2008 and further increases on 16 May 2008. • In UV2 and VIS similar as row 53 anomaly, but: • new anomaly appears only after nTimes=1140 on northern hemisphere (14 minutes prior to sun_elev_angle=0 degrees). • New anomaly shows strong sun light reflection in UV1, UV2, VIS, only after nTimes=1140, almost 10x more signal than radiance in UV1. • Look in Level-1b readme file !

Row anomaly May 2008 Row 40 nadir West Row 53 East Solar port
Row anomaly May 2008 • Stability (in rows and in time) of the row anomaly: UV1
OMI surface reflectance • Surface reflectance based on histogram method.
OMI surface reflectance • OMI minimum mission LER
OMI surface reflectance • Comparison with TOMS (Herman and Celarier, 1997).
OMI surface reflectance • Comparison with GOME (Koelemeijer et al., 2001). • OMI also compared with MODIS black sky albedo at 470 nm.
OMI surface reflectance • Used all data from October 2004 to October 2007. • 0.5 degree x 0.5 degree. • Mission minimum surface albedo product. • Monthly minimum surface albedo products (seasonal dependence). • 23 wavelengths in range 328-500 nm (spectral dependence). • 6 wavelengths in UV2/VIS overlap region, 1 wavelength in UV1/UV2 overlap region. • OMI surface reflectance map tested with NO2, aerosol and cloud (O2-O2).
Future work • Investigation row anomalies and possibilities for correction in level-1b data. • Impact of rephasing (NOSE block parameters, sun angles). • Continue to monitor potential optical degradation behaviour using WLS and solar spectra. • Current optical degradation < 1.5% in 270-500 nm wavelength range. • This does not take into account degradation of the primary telescope mirror. • Continue to monitor CCD detector degradation behaviour. • Continue work on surface albedo (swath angle dependence). • Continue validation Earth reflectances (including swath angle dependence), BSDF structures, Earth reflectance interchannel jumps, degradation primary telescope mirror.

Conclusions • OMI performance and calibration are in good shape: • Detector degradation under control. • Optical degradation low. • But: row anomalies. • Processing collection 3 with TDOPFs. • TMCF runs as expected. • OM surface reflectance database.
