    • OMPS-NPP L2 NM Formaldehyde (HCHO) Total Column swath orbital

    Metadata Updated: December 7, 2023

    The OMPS-NPP L2 NM Formaldehyde (HCHO) Total Column swath orbital product provides formaldehyde measurements from the Ozone Mapping and Profiling Suite (OMPS) Nadir-Mapper (NM) instrument on the Suomi-NPP satellite. The total column HCHO amount is derived from radiances at wavelengths between 328.5 and 356.5 nm.

    Each granule contains data from the daylight portion of each orbit measured for a full day. Spatial coverage is global (-90 to 90 degrees latitude), and there are about 14.5 orbits per day. Each has typically 400 swaths. The swath width of the NM is about 2800 km with 36 scenes, or pixels, with a footprint size of 50 km x 50 km at nadir. The files are written in the new netCDF version 4 format.
