GEOS-5 FP-IT 3D Time-Averaged Model-Layer Assimilated Data Geo-Colocated to OMI/Aura UV2 1-Orbit L2 Swath 13x24km V4 (OMUFPMET)

The GEOS-5 FP-IT 3D Time-Averaged Model-Layer Assimilated Data Geo-Colocated to OMI/Aura UV2 1-Orbit L2 Swath 13x24km (OMUFPMET) product provides selected meteorlogical fields from the GEOS-5 Forward Processing for Instrument Teams (FP-IT) assimilated product produced by the Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO) co-located in space and time with the OMI UV-2 swath. The fields in this product include layer pressure thickness, surface pressure, vertical temperature profiles, surface potential, and mid-layer pressure along with geolocation info.

The OMI team also provides a corresponding product for the OMI VIS swath, OMVFPMET. The OMI ancillary products were developed to provide supplementary information for use with the OMI collection 4 L1B data sets. The original GEOS-5 FP-IT data are reported on a 0.625 deg longitude by 0.5 deg latitude grid, whereas the OMI UV-2 spatial resolution is 13km x 24km at nadir.
