  16. Detection Limit of Tropospheric NO2 Area observed 60x30 km2 The detection limit is defined as the minimum difference in tropospheric NO2 in a yearly mean that is statistically meaningful. Smaller values are better OMI GOME-2 SCIA Prof.Dr.P.F.Levelt, KNMI, TUE, June11,2008, NIVR

  17. Aura Spacecraft • Aura FMU anomaly • Aura rephasing • See presentation Jacques Claas today Before re-phasing OMI monthly spatial zoom-in measurements After re-phasing De Bilt Washington Prof.Dr.P.F.Levelt, KNMI, TUE, June11,2008, NIVR

  18. Instrument and calibration status • OMI instrument is very stable • OMI operations 99,9 % • Calibration daily OPF updates for dark current corrections:Collection 3Anomalies OMI: • FMU anomalyAll mechanism commands have been adjusted • New OMI anomaly for outer swath last year • Another comparable OMI anomaly recently on around row 40 swath position For last 2 anomalies :- level 1 and 2 data are affected- potential cause is identified, but difficult to confirm- possibility correction mechanism is investigated OMI flight model See Dobber’s presentation today and tomorrow Prof.Dr.P.F.Levelt, KNMI, TUE, June11,2008, NIVR

  25. Spatial Resolution OMI Zoom 12x13 km2 OMI 24x13 km2 Mexico City January 20, 2005 Approx. GOME-2 72x39 km2 Prof.Dr.P.F.Levelt, KNMI, TUE, June11,2008, NIVR

  26. Detection Limit Test • Assume two areas with different yearly average NO2 concentrations; • Simulate the measured NO2 assuming a variation of 100% and a cloud contamination of 50%; • Sample the simulated NO2 with a sensor with a certain spatial and temporal sampling and measurement uncertainty; • Using a statistical test at 67 and 95% confidence level, determine the minimum detectable difference. Prof.Dr.P.F.Levelt, KNMI, TUE, June11,2008, NIVR

  27. Ozone Monitoring Instrument OMI • UV and VIS backscatter instrument (270 - 500 nm) • Wide swath telescope yields daily global maps (2600 km) • Urban scale resolution is best ever for air quality measurements from space (13 x 24 km2) Heritage: GOME, SCIAMACHY, GOMOS and TOMS OMI is now also a third party mission from ESA Prof.Dr.P.F.Levelt, KNMI, TUE, June11,2008, NIVR

  28. First comparisons of MODIS & OMI cloud pressures: Hurricane Katrina (Joiner et al.,GRL, 2006) Some differences expected; Cloudsat data not available at the time. Spiral structure seen in OMI cloud pressures, but not in MODIS cloud-top pressure. Hypothesis: UV radiation penetrates deep inside a cloud because OMI UV channels see through high thin cirrus to lower water clouds with band structure. Prof.Dr.P.F.Levelt, KNMI, TUE, June11,2008, NIVR

  29. Instrument and calibration status • OMI operations 99 % • Calibration daily OPF updates for dark current corrections:Collection 3Anomalies OMI: • FMU anomalyAll OMI commands have been adjusted • New OMI anomaly for outer swath last year • Another comparable OMI anomaly recently on around row 40 swath position For last 2 anomalies :- level 1 and 2 data are affected- potential cause is identified, but difficult to confirm- possibility correction mechanism is investigatedSee Dobber’s presentation today and tomorrow OMI flight model Prof.Dr.P.F.Levelt, KNMI, TUE, June11,2008, NIVR
