EP TOMS started experiencing calibration problems since 2002. For data beginning in year 2000, the calibration has been stabilized relative to NOAA-16 SBUV/2 in the equatorial zone. Because of continuing changes in the optical properties of the front scan mirror that are not well understood, data are showing a latitude dependent error that cannot be corrected by a simple calibration correction. The calibration appears to be stable near the equator. But by 50 degrees latitude, there is now a -2% to -4% error in TOMS, a bit larger in the northern hemisphere than in the southern hemisphere. Because of this error, data since 2002 should NOT be used for trend analysis.

The Earth Probe (EP) Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) version 8 daily global gridded data product contains total column ozone, UV aerosol index, Lambertian effective surface reflectivity (Rayleigh corrected), and UV-B erythemal local noon irradiances. The data are mapped to a global grid of size 180 x 288 with a lat-long resolution of 1.00 x 1.25 degrees. These data are stored in the EOS Hierarchical Data Format (HDF-EOS).
The TOMS data were produced by the Laboratory for Atmospheres at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (Code 614).
