The Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI): Reaping the benefits of a long, stable mission

As the OMI mission continues the data user community is reaping the benefits of the lengthening data record from this stable mission. Data from OMI continues to be important for solar monitoring, assimilation for the production of operational forecasts, and for calculation of emission trends. The combination of high spatial resolution, daily global coverage, and compatibility with new missions including TROPOMI, the OMI data record will continue to be important for monitoring changes in the ozone layer, air quality, and climate change. Highlights will also include how very fast delivery (VFD) of OMI data plays an important role in operational services for tracking volcanic and forest fire plumes.
