Conclusion

The OMI instrument, that will fly on-board the NASA EOS-AURA mission between 2003 and 2008, will make an important contribution to atmospheric chemistry research and climate monitoring. OMI will measure total columns of ozone, NO2, SO2, BrO, HCHO, OClO, as well as aerosol and cloud parameters . In addition to the ozone column, also the ozone profile will be measured. Because of the high spatial resolution combined with daily global coverage, OMI will provide new challenging information on the chemistry of the lower troposphere. The OMI retrieval algorithms are developed in the 2000-2001 time frame. The Dutch OMI science team welcomes suggestions and contributions by the OMI user community.
