Description

The Aura Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) collection-3 Bromine Monoxide Product OMBRO from the Aura-OMI, is now available from the NASA Goddard Earth Sciences Data and Information Services Center (GES DISC) for the public access. The shortname for this Level-2 OMI total column BrO product is OMBRO. The algorithm leads for this product are the US OMI scientists Dr. Kelly Chance and Dr. Thomas Kurosu from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center, Cambridge, MA. The OMBRO product contains total vertical column BrO, standard errors (rms and sigma), quality flags, geolocation and other ancillary information.

The OMBRO files are stored in the version 5 EOS Hierarchical Data Format (HDF-EOS5). Each file contains data from the day lit portion of an orbit (~53 minutes). There are approximately 14 orbits per day. The average file size for the OMBRO data product is about 5 Mbytes.
