OMPS UV Aerosol Index UVAIb
OMPS NO2 Retrieval Direct radiance fitting to retrieve NO2vertical columns • NO2: 345 – 378 nm • albedo, pressures, cloud fraction, aerosol index: 350 – 378 nm • Include BrO, HCHO, OCLO • Orbit-based strat-trop separation
Why Directing Fitting? Air Mass FactorA.K.A Scattering Weight Red : wl = 340 nm Blue: wl = 380 nm Solid Lines: LER Ps = 922 hPa, Rs = 0.184 Dashed Lines: MLER Pt = 1013.25 hPa Pc = 800.00 hPa Rg = 0.08 Rc = 0.6 fc = 0.1 RCF= 0.22 @ 360 nm NO2 Profile Shape
