Data Quality Assessment
The purpose of this page is to provide TOMS and OMI data users with information pertaining to calibration, algorithm issues, and data quality.
TOMS
Until late in its life, EP/TOMS data were of high quality, consistent with nominal uncertainties.
Frequently asked questions regarding the Earth Probe TOMS near real-time data:
- How did the most recent EP/TOMS data compare with historical values?
- What geophysical events affected EP/TOMS data quality?
- Does EP/TOMS have missing data or data taken in an alternate instrument mode?
- Briefly discuss EP/TOMS instrument calibration
- What effect did spacecraft attitude anomalies have on EP/TOMS data?
- What is the data coverage for EP/TOMS?
