Short summary
TROPOMI (TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument) provides daily ozone profile data from ultraviolet bands 1–2. Accurate radiometric calibration is critical below 300 nm where signals are low. A Level-2 soft calibration complements L1 calibration and reveals spectral, temporal, and across-track biases. Re-analysis of calibration data enabled improved L1 corrections to address remaining straylight and residual signal effects, reducing soft calibration magnitude by ~15–20 % and associated biases in L1b v3.0 and ozone processor v2.9.0.
