Description:The Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite (OMPS) Nadir Profilers (NPs) are advanced backscatter ultraviolet (BUV) hyperspectral instruments that measure ozone profiles in the Earth atmosphere. The first NP sensor onboard the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (Suomi-NPP) satellite began its science observations on January 26, 2012, after its aperture door opened. The second OMPS NP, flying on the NOAA-20 satellite, opened its aperture door on January 8, 2018, starting science its data collection. The two NP sensors acquire Earth spectral images along their satellite flight path with a 16.7° wide swath, enabling weekly coverage of vertical ozone distribution in the Earth atmosphere. A successful thorough sensor calibration enables the NP sensors’ data records (SDRs) to meet measurement accuracy requirements. The largest error term in the albedo calibration came from the spectral wavelength calibration. This article provides SDRs accuracy analysis for both NP sensors and discusses important aspects of the SDRs performance in relation to the sensors’ characterization and calibration.
