His dedication, commitment, and tremendous contributions to the EOS program will be sorely missed.

Science Team members from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) on the Aura spacecraft will participate in an EOS Algorithm Theoretical Basis Document (ATBD) review over the next few months. The ATBD peer review process is intended to...
