## Editorial
OMPS-NPP L2 Limb Profiler Ozone Vertical Profile is an open NASA Earthdata product for vertically resolved ozone measurements from the OMPS Limb Profiler on Suomi-NPP [^nasa-omps-lp-o3]. The product supports stratospheric ozone monitoring and limb-sounding workflows that need profile information rather than a total ozone column alone [^nasa-omps-lp-o3]. The measurements cover vertical ozone distribution in the stratosphere and lower mesosphere, which makes the dataset relevant for users evaluating altitude-dependent ozone structure, profile continuity, and atmospheric-composition model outputs [^nasa-omps-lp-o3]. The product is distributed through GES DISC as an open Earthdata catalogue entry, allowing repeatable access for operational analysis and research pipelines [^nasa-omps-lp-o3].
