Upgrade to SNPP and NOAA-20 OMPS NP
NOAA has stated that SNPP and NOAA-20 OMPS Ozone Nadir Profile (NP) productswhich is currently being distributed in EUMETCast will be upgraded to a new version of the V8Pro algorithm.
The main changes are:
- Modified scripts and codes, added the ability to run J02 for the V8Pro algorithm, added required tables and auxiliary files for J02.
- Old RT tables and triangular internal bandpass models were replaced with new RT tables and new higher-precision models.
- Updated soft calibration for the aerosol channel of S-NPP searches and make the average AI in the Equator Pacific zero. Set the soft calibration for both N20 and J02 to zero for later adjustments.
As a result, the file names change as shown below:
