Popis: The Ozone Mapper Profiler Suite (OMPS)1 is a new generation system designed to measure the global distribution of atmospheric Ozone on a daily basis by using scattered solar irradiance. The suite consists of three separate sensors that have been integrated and are now flying on the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (NPP), which was successfully launched in October 2011. The OMPS instrument suite began operating in January 2012. This paper summarizes the initial OMPS nadir sensors on-orbit calibration, data analysis and characterization as well as the transition of sensor and Ozone retrievals performance from ground to real flight conditions.
