The Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite (OMPS) aboard the joint NASA/NOAA Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (Suomi NPP) satellite tracks the health of Earth's ozone layer and measures the concentration of atmospheric ozone. OMPS consists of three spectrometers: a downward-looking nadir mapper, a nadir profiler, and a limb profiler. OMPS collects total column and vertical profile ozone data and continues the daily global data produced by current ozone monitoring systems—the Solar Backscatter Ultraviolet Radiometer (SBUV/2) and Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS)—but with higher fidelity and larger swaths. A second OMPS will fly aboard the NASA/NOAA Joint Polar Satellite System-2 (JPSS-2) satellite that is scheduled for launch in 2022.
Content from all Earth science data sites are migrating into this site from now until end of 2026. Not all NASA Earth science data will appear across the site until then. Thank you for your patience as we make this transition.
