Airborne limb-imaging measurements of temperature, HNO3, ClONO2, H2O and CFC-12 during the Arctic winter 2015/2016: characterization, in situ validation and comparison to Aura/MLS

The Gimballed Limb Observer for Radiance Imaging of the Atmosphere (GLORIA) was operated on board the German High Altitude and Long Range Research Aircraft (HALO) during the PGS (POLSTRACC GWLCYCLE SALSA) aircraft campaigns in the Arctic winter 2015 2016. Research flights were conducted from 17 Dece...

Description
Summary:The Gimballed Limb Observer for Radiance Imaging of the Atmosphere (GLORIA) was operated on board the German High Altitude and Long Range Research Aircraft (HALO) during the PGS (POLSTRACC GWLCYCLE SALSA) aircraft campaigns in the Arctic winter 2015 2016. Research flights were conducted from 17 December 2015 until 18 March 2016 within 25-87N, 80W-30E. From the GLORIA infrared limb-emission measurements, two-dimensional cross sections of temperature, HNO3, O3, ClONO2, H2O and CFC-12 are retrieved. During 15 scientific flights of the PGS campaigns the GLORIA instrument measured more than 15000 atmospheric profiles at high spectral resolution.
