Validation Requirements
The EOS validation program defines validation as the process of assessing by independent means the uncertainties of the data products derived from OMI measurements, thus establishing validity and accuracy of the OMI data products. It is essential to validate all products of OMI, to assure their quality for scientific use. This includes validation of Level 1B products (radiance, solar irradiance).The OMI Validation Requirements document describes the validation requirements for the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) aboard EOS-Aura. The baseline for the OMI validation is also described in the EOS Aura Science Data Validation Plan. That document also contains preliminary descriptions of the campaigns envisaged within the EOS-Aura framework, funded by NASA (directly or through NRA’s), on which the OMI validation partly depends. Data needs for OMI that are not (completely) met in the Aura Validation Document have been emphasized in the White Paper for OMI Validation. They are also discussed in the OMI Validation Requirements document
