Air Quality Remote Sensing Program
NPOESS Preparatory Program / National Polar-orbiting Operational
Environmental Satellite System (NPP / NPOESS)
 The Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite (OMPS) and Visible/Infrared
Imager/Radiometer Sensors (VIIRS) to be flown on NPP
and NPOESS
will provide capabilities to retrieve trace gases and aerosols similar to
OMI and
MODIS.
The experience gained by NASA
in retrieving and applying these products for air quality applications will be
transitioned to NOAA
for operational implementation. NESDIS
is partnering with NASA
and academia to develop algorithms and application tools for air quality products
from these instruments. Additionally, user readiness activities are
being carried out using OMI and
MODIS data in
an operational environment.
