This paper presents an overview of the state of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) satellite ozone programme including assessments of the current Solar Backscatter Ultraviolet (SBUV/2) and the future Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite (OMPS) instruments and products. It provides evaluation of the quality of the NOAA Polar-orbiting Operational Satellites (POES) SBUV/2 measurements and the Version 8 algorithm products, both for operational and reprocessed data records. The presentation summarizes work on the instrument calibration and characterization; the algorithm theory and implementation; and the information content, quality and validation of the ozone estimates. This is followed by similar information on the measurements and products expected from the OMPS on the National Polar Operational Environmental Satellite System (NPOESS) and NPOESS Preparatory Project (NPP) beginning in 2011. © 2009 Taylor & Francis.
