Abstract
The Ozone Layer Monitoring Experiment (OLME) on board the FASat-Bravo microsatellite launched in July 1992 observed backscattered UV to retrieve atmospheric ozone using two instruments: the Ozone Ultraviolet Backscatter Imager (OUBI) and the Ozone Mapping Detector (OMAD). Initial results from this experiment have shown good qualitative agreement with data from NASA’s TOMS instrument [1]. More recent studies of OMAD data have found quantitative agreement in their radiances and even indicated detection of a volcanic eruption plume from the Nyamuragira volcano [2].
