Finnish Meteorological Institute
OMI Science Team Meeting De Bilt, the Netherlands, March 11-13, 2014
OMI - a success story in Finland• First remote sensing instrument where Finland had a
significant role in building the instrument:• Technology project
• OMI heritage and experience has been used in VTT’s new developments in hyperspectral imagers for UAVs and nano-satellites.
• For Partria experience and reference from OMI opened doors for developing similar Detector Electronic Units for ESA missions.
• For Space Systems Finland OMI built experience on developing reliable ground processing systems applicable also in other fields.
• Satellite Operations:• Beginning of satellite data reception
activities in Finland • Sodankylä Very Fast Delivery
service• First operational satellite product :
Surface UV radiation, important for health, ecosystems, climate and air quality
• Science Project:
OMI ST 2014
OMI - a success story in Finland (cont.)
UV radiation in Antarctic, Nov 9-10
OMI and TOMS ozone and UV time series data used to study the link between the total ozone in spring and summer UV in Northern Hemisphere high and mid-latitudes• Inter-annual variability in springtime ozone abundance explains up to 20–40% of the summer UV variability
• Arctic ozone depletion 2011 increased the March–August cumulative erythemal clear-sky UV dose in the Northern Hemisphere extratropics by 3–4% compared to the climatology

Correlation functions between the TOMS/OMI March extratropical (north of 35°N) total ozone and monthly mean total ozone and noontime UVI in polar latitudes (north of 60°N) and mid-latitudes (35–60°N) from March to December. (Absolute values shown for red lines.)
Aura Direct Broadcast data reception in Sodankylä
OMI ST 2014 6Distribution in the webDirect Broadcast receiver Observations
• High-latitude site optimal for data reception of Polar satellites
• Coverage: most of Europe
omivfd.fmi.fiOMI real time products
• Daily measurements of
• Ozone
• UV-radiation
• SO2
• Aerosols
• Available within 15-20 min after satellite overpass.
• Coverage: Northern Europe
Grimsvötn volcanic eruption May 21st 2011
• Fast availability of data important for forecasts to support aviation
• OMI VFD used to follow the transport of the ash and to constrain the dispersion forecasts.
• The eruption was strongest on 22 May and on 25th it arrived to Southern Finland
• Increased PM10 values clear on May 25th
• Concentration of smaller particles not increased
OMI ash (AAI) during four days
May 22. May 23.
May 24. May 25.
Particulate matter in Helsinki May 22-28, 2011
June 2013 – Smoke plume from ColoradoThe smoke plume originating from the wildfires inColorado reached Europe in 25th June 2013
Sulfur dioxide from metal smelters in Siberia
OMI SO2 on May 14th, 2012
Averaged SO2: Jun-Aug, 2005-07
• Improve consistency of various instruments and algorithms:
• Ozone measurements during high column
• Challenging conditions: low sun periods
• SAUNA 1: March-April 2006• SAUNA 2: February-April 2007• Ground based instruments: ozone LIDAR,
6 Brewers, 2 Dobsons, 4 DOAS, 96 ozonesondes, dual sondes, CFH

OMI UV data used for estimating seasonal variation of spatial distribution of new particle formation
• One of the key questions in climate research is the role of aerosols
• Nucleation mode aerosols are below the detection limit of satellites
• Proxies used instead
