[edit] What is special about OMI? It Shows Chemical Weather
The OMI sensor on the AURA platform has opened up a new era of atmospheric composition characterization and monitoring. The sensor provides global daily coverage of columnar concentration of ozone, NO2, and formaldehyde. It also delivers absorbing aerosol index and other parameters that characterize atmospheric composition. The near-real-time delivery of these products are, in effect, described the "chemical weather", in a similar manner as meteorological satellites characterize the physical weather. These products of atmospheric composition are also available for assimilation into chemical models which in turn can improve the chemical forecasts.
