The Second Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment (GOME-2) will perform operational global monitoring of ozone column densities and profiles, and column densities of other atmospheric trace gases such as NO2, BrO, OClO, HCHO, SO2 and H2O. GOME-2 is an improved version of the Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment (GOME-1) launched 1995 onboard the second European Remote Sensing Satellite (ERS-2) It will be embarked on the MetOp series of three polar-orbiting operational meteorological satellites, to be launched in 2006, 2010, and 2014. Level 0 to 1 processing will take place in the Core Ground Segment (CGS) at EUMETSAT while level 1 to 2 processing will be performed by the partner institutes of the Ozone Monitoring Satellite Application Facility (O3MSAF).
This paper presents an overview of the on-ground processing of GOME-2 data from raw instrument packets (level 0) via calibrated (ir)radiances (level 1) to geophysical data (level 2). Additionally a summary of the services available to data users including possibilities for data access, obtaining up-to-date information on data quality & commissioning (later routine operations) activities, and contact points at EUMETSAT will be given.
Finally a snapshot of the status of the on-going GOME-2 calibration and validation activities, carried out centrally at EUMETSAT HQ, will be presented including some first views of GOME-2 data.
