OMI/Aura Surface UV Irradiance 1-orbit L2 Swath 13x24 km V003 (OMUVB) at GES DISC

Published by NASA/GSFC/SED/ESD/TISL/GESDISC | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Catalog Last Checked: June 25, 2026 at 01:28 PM | Dataset Last Updated: June 23, 2026
The Aura Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) Version 003 Surface UV Irradiance Product (OMUVB) is now available from the NASA Goddard Earth Sciences Data and Information Services Center (GES DISC) for the public access. The shortname for this Level-2 OMI Surface UVB product is OMUVB. The algorithm scientists for this product are: Dr. Jari Hovila, Dr. Antii Arola and Dr. Johanna Taminnen. The OMUVB product contains erythemally weighted daily dose and dose rate, and spectral irradiances at 305, 310, 324, and 380 nm. It also contains quality flags, cloud optical depth, Lambertian Equivalent Reflectivity, Total Column Ozone amount, and other ancillary information. The OMUVB files are stored in the version 5 EOS Hierarchical Data Format (HDF-EOS5). Each file contains data from the day lit portion of an orbit (~53 minutes). There are approximately 14 orbits per day. The maximum file size for the OMUVB data product is about 10 Mbytes.
