The OMI team also provides a corresponding product for the OMI VIS swath, OMVFPMET. The OMI ancillary products were developed to provide supplementary information for use with the OMI collection 4 L1B data sets. The original GEOS-5 FP-IT data are reported on a 0.625 deg longitude by 0.5 deg latitude grid, whereas the OMI UV-2 spatial resolution is 13km x 24km at nadir.The OMUFPMET files are in netCDF4 format which is compatible with most netCDF and HDF5 readers and tools. Each file is approximately 45mb in size. The lead for this product is Zachary Fasnacht of SSAI. Joanna Joiner is the responsible NASA official.

The data field is available every three hour starting from 01:30 UTC, e.g.: 01:30, 04:30, … , 22:30 UTC. The information on the pressure levels can be found in the section 4.2 of the MERRA-2 File Specification document. MERRA-2 is the latest version of global atmospheric reanalysis for the satellite era produced by NASA Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO) using the Goddard Earth Observing System Model (GEOS) version 5.12.4.
