%Z The AMMA-SCOUT-O3 measurement campaign was facilitated by the European Commission and the EC Integrated Project SCOUT-O3 (505390-GOCE-CT-2004) and AMMA. Based on a French initiative, AMMA was built by an international scientific group and is currently funded by a large number of agencies. It has been the beneficiary of a major financial contribution from the European Communities Sixth Framework Research Program. Many thanks also to the team and pilots of the Myasishchev Design Bureau for making the M55-Geophysica flights possible under difficult logistic conditions. We like to thank Anu Dudhia for providing the MIPAS Reference Forward Model and his help to include the HITRAN 2004 spectroscopic database. For providing other observation data for comparisons and retrieval support I like to thank Fabrizio Ravegnani and Vladimir Yushkov for the FOZAN data, Cornelius Schiller and the FISH-Team for the FISH data, Genrich Shur for the TDC data, and the ACE-FTS Team for the ACE-FTS data. The Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment (ACE), also known as SCISAT, is a Canadian-led mission mainly supported by the Canadian Space Agency and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada. Last but not least we like to thank everybody, who provided technical support for the CRISTA-NF measurements and data analysis.
%X The Cryogenic Infrared Spectrometers and Telescopes for the Atmosphere - New Frontiers (CRISTA-NF) instrument participated in the AMMA-SCOUT-O3 measurement campaign in July and August 2006. The instrument is mounted on the high-flying Russian research aircraft M55-Geophysica and measures limb-emissions in the mid-infrared region in the tangent altitude range of about 6 to 21 km. We present a new retrieval setup which is based on 9 integrated spectral windows allowing to retrieve an extended set of trace gases and temperature fields with high vertical resolution (up to 500 m). Retrieval results are shown for temperature, water vapor (H2O), ozone (O-3), nitric acid (HNO3), peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN), carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), and aerosol extinction. Comparisons of temperature, O-3, and H2O observations with corresponding in situ measurements on-board M55-Geophysica show reasonable agreement. In particular, CRISTA-NF observations in the vicinity of the aircraft resemble horizontal variations found in the in situ measurements better than corresponding ECMWF fields.
