The Odin-OSIRIS Data Sets - Twelve Years of Ozone, Bromine Monoxide, Nitrogen Dioxide and Stratospheric Aerosols

The Canadian built OSIRIS instrument has just finished its twelfth full year of operation on-board the Swedish led spacecraft Odin. During these twelve years OSIRIS has measured the limb radiance profile of spectrally dispersed scattered sunlight in the wavelength range from 280 nm to 810 nm with approximately 1 nm spectral resolution. These measurements have been used to retrieve vertical number density profiles of ozone, nitrogen dioxide and bromine monoxide as well as vertical profiles of the stratospheric aerosol extinction at 750 nm. The OSIRIS data sets have been extensively used for process studies and have been included in many international initiatives including the SPARC DI, SPIN, the ozone_cci, the aerosol_cci and the SI2N. This paper details the data products and their availability as well as presenting OSIRIS related scientific highlights and contributions to the above mentioned initiatives
