The Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite (OMPS) Limb Profiler (LP) instrument is currently flying on the Suomi NPP satellite, and has collected more than 5 years of regular data since its launch in October 2011. LP limb scattering hyperspectral measurements simultaneously cover a spectral range between 290 nm and 1015 nm with variable spectral resolution (0.8-30 nm), and an altitude range between...

Invited speaker
Limb observations from orbiting sensors have a rich history. The cold space background, long optical paths, and limb geometry provide formidable advantages for achieving calibration, sensitivity and vertically resolved geophysical parameters. The measurement of limb ray refraction also provides temperature and pressure profiles, unburdened by spectral calibration, leading to reliable...

In February 2017, the Canadian-led Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment (ACE) satellite mission completed its thirteenth year of measurements. The long lifetime of ACE has provided a valuable time series of composition measurements that contribute to our understanding of ozone recovery, climate change and pollutant transport.
The SCISAT/ACE mission uses infrared and UV-visible spectroscopy...

Invited speaker
The ALTIUS instrument observes the atmosphere in several modes: limb scatter, solar/lunar and stellar/planetary occultation. Furthermore, Level 2 data delivery splits in two separate lines: a near real-time ozone product and a collection of offline scientific products. Both aspects lead to a data processing chain that is a bit more complex than is usually the case. In this overview, we will...
