Abstract
Ball Aerospace and Technologies Corp. has built the third build of the Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite (OMPS), which measures daily ozone using three spectrometers that cover a wavelength range from 250 nm to 1000 nm. The JPSS-2 OMPS instrument consists of a pair of nadir-viewing spectrometers that provide total column ozone measurements and a limb-viewing spectrometer that provides ozone vertical profiles. The ground radiometric calibration of the sensors is ultimately albedo-based and determined through a sequence of tests to determine both absolute calibration and a direct albedo calibration. This presentation discusses the results of the JPSS-2 OMPS ground calibration program including an overview of the test suite and calibration uncertainties.
