The Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite (OMPS) nadir sensor and algorithms for the United States National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System (NPOESS) comprise a system to map ozone total column globally in 24 hours and to measure the altitude distribution of ozone in the upper stratosphere (30-50 km). The sensor consists of a wide field (110 degree) telescope and two spectrometers: an imager covering 300 to 380 nm with a 50 km nadir footprint for mapping total column ozone across a 2800 km swath, and a 250 to 310 nm spectrometer with a single 250 km footprint to provide ozone profile data with SBUV/2 heritage. Both spectrometers provide 1 nm resolution (full-width at half-maximum, FWHM) spectra. The sensitivity of the OMPS total column algorithm to sensor random and systematic errors is analyzed, and a preliminary evaluation of the potential for deriving concentrations of other trace gases from the calibrated spectral radiances is provided.
