About OMI SIPS

The Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) is a Dutch-Finnish instrument on board NASA’s Aura Satellite, launched in July 2004. OMI is a wide swath, nadir viewing, near-UV and visible spectrograph that measures ozone columns and profiles, aerosols, clouds, surface ultraviolet (UV) irradiance, and the trace gases Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), Sulfuric Dioxide (SO2), and Formaldehyde (OHCLO). The OMI Near Real-Time (NRT) capability is a joint development of NASA and the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI).

LANCE-OMI provides certain OMI Level 2 and Level 3 products on a near real-time basis. On average, the Level 2 products are available within 3.5 hours of the observation time. The products are available by direct FTP access. At present, LANCE-OMI is a single string system. However, to improve the system availability, a second string will be added soon.
