Status of the DSCOVR/EPIC Level 2 products

We will report on the status of the DSCOVR/EPIC Level-2 products. We start with the two main gaseous products: ozone (O3) and sulfur dioxide (SO2) for volcanic eruptions. Then we will turn to the EPIC cloud and aerosol products including aerosol height. The aerosol products are provided in both the UV and VIS spectral ranges. There are also ocean and vegetation products including sunlit leaf area index (SLAI). In addition, EPIC provides a unique product: solar glint in both ocean and clouds. In the presentation, we will show several examples of the Level 2 products and discuss the specifics of deep space observations for retrievals of atmospheric, surface and ocean properties. Finally, we will report on expected and unexpected capabilities of EPIC observations.
