Summary
Abstract: The Version-3 Aura/OMI Zoom-in Pixel Corner Coordinates and Pixel Size Product, OMPIXCORZ, is available (http://disc.gsfc.nasa.gov/Aura/OMI/ompixcorz_v003.shtml) from the NASA Goddard Earth Sciences Data and Information Services Center (GES DISC) for the public access.
The Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) was launched aboard the EOS-Aura satellite on July 15, 2004 (1:38 pm equator crossing time, ascending mode). OMI with its 2600 km viewing swath width provides almost daily global coverage. OMI is a contribution of the Netherlands Space Office (NSO) in collaboration with Finish Meterological Institute (FMI), to the US EOS-Aura Mission. The principal investigator (Dr. Pieternel Levelt) institute is the KNMI (Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute). OMI is designed to monitor stratospheric and tropospheric ozone, clouds, aerosols and smoke from biomass burning, SO2, and key tropospheric pollutants (HCHO, NO2) and ozone depleting gases (OClO and BrO). OMI sensor counts, calibrated and geolocated radiances, and all derived geophysical atmospheric products are archived at the NASA Goddard DAAC.

The shortname for this Level-2 OMI product is OMPIXCORZ and the algorithm lead for this product is the US OMI scientists Dr. Thomas Kurosu (tkurosu@cfa.harvard.edu) from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center, Cambridge, MA.

The OMPIXCORZ product contains ground locations of the pixel corners of the OMI Field of View in the zoom-in mode and other ancillary informations.

OMPIXCORZ files are stored in EOS Hierarchical Data Format (HDF-EOS5). Each file contains data from the day lit portion of an orbit (~53 minutes). There are approximately 14 orbits per day. The average file size for the OMPIXCORZ data product is about 8 Mbytes.

A list of tools for browsing and extracting data from these files
can be found at: http://disc.gsfc.nasa.gov/Aura/tools.shtml
