This global Level-1B (L1B) Sensor Data Record (SDR) from the Ozone
Mapping and Profiling Suite (OMPS) provides calibrated and geolocated radiances
produced from OMPS Raw Data Records (RDR). The data are derived from backscattered UV
radiation (between 250-310 nm) detected by the OMPS Nadir Profiler (NP) at a spatial
resolution of 250 km at nadir. This product is produced by the NOAA Environmental
Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) and is distributed by the
Comprehensive Large Array-Data Stewardship System (CLASS) as aggregated 101 minute
(full orbit) files consisting of 163 (37 second) granules in the HDF5 file format
with metadata attributes included.
