  2. Short Abstract • NOAA, through the Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) program, in partnership with National Aeronautical Space Administration (NASA), launched the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (Suomi NPP) satellite on October 28, 2011. The JPSS program is executing the NPP Calibration and Validation (Cal/Val) program to ensure the data products comply with the requirements of the sponsoring agencies. The Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite (OMPS) consists of two telescopes feeding three detectors measuring solar radiance scattered by the Earth's atmosphere and surface, and solar irradiance by using diffusers [1]. The measurements are used to generate estimates of total column ozone and vertical ozone profiles. The validation efforts make use of external resources, in the form of ground-based and satellite- based measurements for comparisons, and apply internal consistency methods developed over the last thirty years. This paper provides information on the state of the execution of the OMPS Cal/Val Plan with emphasis on the measures of the instrument performance from internal consistency analysis techniques and comparisons to other satellite instrument products for the validation of the NPP OMPS environmental data products. • [1] Juan V.

  6. OMPS Nadir Mapper Spectra • The plot at the top of the following slide shows a sample OMPS Nadir Mapper solar spectrum measured in January. The initial calibration, goniometry and wavelengths scales have been applied. Notice the Fraunhofer lines, e.g., a deep one near 360 nm. • The plot in the middle shows a sample spectrum for the Earth View data for the nadir field-of view. • The plot on the bottom shows the ratio of the first two spectra. Notice that much of the structure in the solar spectrum cancels out in the ration. Also notice the variations between 320 and 330 nm produced by differential ozone absorption with wavelength. • After further analysis, the wavelength scales have been revised with shifts on the order of 1Å.

  8. EOF/SNR analysis for six orbits (~1800 scans) OMPS NM on 1/28/2012 using three wavelength ranges (305-325, 320-345, 340-380) for 35 CT 0.1 is equivalent to an average SNR of 1000:1 .

  9. OMPS Geolocation This image shows the effective reflectivity (0% to 30% for the 380-nm Channel for part of an orbit of small Field-of-View (5 KM X 10 KM at Nadir) measurements made by the OMPS Nadir Mapper in a special diagnostic mode on January 26, 2012. The Qatar peninsula sticking into the Persian Gulf in the middle of the picture lies along the nadir view of the orbital track and gives a preliminary assurance of the geolocation at better the 5 KM.

  10. Examination of South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) effects and product flagging. The noise/spikes below show the expected increases when an orbital path falls with within the SAA but return to normal levels after passing through it. The OMPS was designed to use the OMPS Limb Profiler retrievals in the SAA where the OMPS Nadir Profiler is so greatly affected by charged particles that it cannot be used to produce ozone profiles.

  12. Time series of initial V8PRO residuals for OMPS NP February through June Initial Measurement Residuals for the OMPS NP V8 Profile Product: The nine figures show the initial residuals for profile wavelengths [252, 274, 283, 288, 292, 298, 302, 306 and 313 nm, (a) to (i), respectively] for the V8PRO product from OMPS compared to the same product for the operational NOAA-18 and NOAA-19 SBUV/2 for the equatorial daily zonal means (20N to 20S) with 0-90W removed to avoid the SAA. The residuals are in N-values (1 N ~ 2.3%). The time period is the first six months of this year (February to May for OMPS). Notice that the residuals for OMPS, have maintained a persistent bias relative to the SBUV/2 residuals.

  13. D. Rault, NASA LaRC  OMPS Limb Profiler These curtains represent the ozone profile in vertical slices through the atmosphere along the three paths shown above. They demonstrate the ability of the research retrieval algorithm for the OMPS Limb Profiler in use at the NASA Ozone PEATE. The gaps at the top in the middle of the plots occur when the satellite encounters charged particles as it passes through the South Atlantic Anomaly; these are consistent with the modeled effects. The profiles regularly extend down below 15 KM in altitude.

  19.  331-nm Channel Radiances for the first eight orbits of OMPS Nadir Mapper measurement (end of 1/26/2012 and start of 1/27/2012). This image shows the expected range of values and variations across the orbital track and with solar zenith angles at the times of the measurements. The white circle around the North Pole is the region of polar night during the Northern Hemisphere Winter. The OMPS needs scattered sunlight to make its measurements, so there are no data there. Figures: J. Niu, NOAA/STAR (ERT) 1/26-27/2012 Effective Reflectivity from the multiple triplet retrieval algorithm in IDPS for the same eight orbits. The quantity represents the UV reflectivity of the clouds and surface in each Field-of-View. Again, the range of values from bright clouds to dark open ocean scenes is as expected. Reflectivity  • Total Ozonefrom the multiple triplet retrieval algorithm in IDPS for the same eight orbits for the first pass ozone retrieval (first guess IP product without CrIS or VIIRS information). The values show some cross track variations and are offset approximately 5-10% from other satellite ozone products. These uncertainty levels for preliminary products are consistent with the use of prelaunch calibration parameters and tables in the initial operational system.

  21. OMPS NP Solar Flux Measurements

  22. Noise and Stray Light for OMPS NP Earth Radiances The % RMSR estimates on the right were computed using EOF analysis on clean data for 230 spectra. A spectral screen detected and removed one deviant value on average from each of the 120-wavelength spectra. The removal of the second EOF pattern was somewhat arbitrary as it and the third EOF may be stray light patterns. The covariance computation used a 6th order polynomial for normalization. The scatter plot on the left compares simple three-wavelength Mg II core-to-wing ratio variations (280 nm to the average of 277 nm and 282 nm) with longer wavelength variations at 305 nm. There is no geophysical reason to expect the two to be correlated, and the exposed relationship is symptomatic of out-of-band stray light. The core average is ~0.4 of wings, so this -0.5% to 1.5% variation represents (1.0/0.4 – 1 =) 1.5 times the expected stray light variations in the wings.
