The OMPS-NPP L1G LP Radiance EV Wavelength-Altitude Grid swath orbital 3slit product contains the calibrated earth-viewing radiances measured by the Ozone Mapping and Profiling Suite (OMPS) Limb-Profiler (LP) sensor on the Suomi-NPP satellite. The LP L1G product measures radiances in the wavelength region from 280 nm to 1000 nm.Each granule contains data from the daylight portion of each orbit measured for a full day. Spatial coverage is global (-90 to 90 degrees latitude), and there are about 14.5 orbits per day each measuring three limb profiles spaced approximately 250 km in the cross-track direction. The profiles are measured from the ground up to about 80 km with a vertical resolution of the retrieved profiles of approximately 1-2 km.The data are written using the Hierarchical Data Format Version 5 or HDF5.
