Description
The design of the Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite (OMPS) Nadir Mapper and Nadir Profiler includes a pair of solar diffusers. The working diffuser is used every two weeks and the reference diffuser is used once a year. Combined with a stable orbit -- fixed Equator crossing time -- these measurements have proven to provide a very good set of data for characterizing the changes in the S-NPP OMPS Nadir instruments over the last twelve years. This talks presents the results of this characterization as well as additional measurements and analysis to confirm the performance.
