Abstract

The Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) is a UV/VIS spectrograph (270-500 nm) in the line of GOME³ and SCIAMACHY⁴. It employs two-dimensional CCD detectors for simultaneous registration of numerous spectra from ground pixels in the swath perpendicular to the flight direction. The OMI field of view is 13×2600 km² per two seconds nominal exposure time providing (almost) daily global coverage in combination with small ground pixel sizes (nominally 13×24 km², minimum 13×12 km²). The small ground pixels will allow retrieval of tropospheric constituents. The OMI contains various new and innovative design elements such as a polarization scrambler and programmable CCD read-out modes. This paper discusses the overall design of the OMI together with the instrumental capabilities.
