Near-real-time aerosol retrievals from OMPS Limb Profiler measurements

무엇을 하는가

Rapid aerosol retrievals from OMPS Limb Profiler are important to monitor large wildfires and volcanic eruptions that reach the stratosphere. These near-real-time (NRT) retrievals can inform aviation safety and help coordinate ground-based and in situ measurements of these disruptive events. To enable NRT retrievals from OMPS Limb Profiler, we utilize neural networks trained on the operational physics-based data product, reducing the runtime to retrieve these aerosols from ~2 hours to ~2 minutes.
