We present new ground-based measurements of polar stratospheric and mesospheric CO, made with a millimeter-wave spectrometer at Thule, Greenland (76.5 N, 68.7 W). Almost daily measurements were made between 17 January and 4 March 2002 and again between 5 January and 22 February 2003. We stress here...
