      abstract     = {[1] The second mission of the CRyogenic Infrared
                      Spectrometers and Telescopes for the Atmosphere (CRISTA)
                      experiment took place in August 1997. The experiment was
                      flown aboard the ASTROnomical Shuttle PAllet Satellite
                      (ASTRO-SPAS) free-flying platform launched by the NASA space
                      shuttle. CRISTA analyzes the infrared radiation emitted by
                      trace gases from the Earth limb in the altitude regime from
                      the upper troposphere to the lower thermosphere. The main
                      aim of CRISTA is to detect small-scale dynamically induced
                      structures in the distribution of trace constituents in the
                      middle atmosphere. The instrument is therefore equipped with
                      three telescopes that simultaneously collect the infrared
                      radiation from three different air volumes. The high spatial
                      density of the measurement grid obtained during the first
                      CRISTA mission in November 1994, as well as the latitudinal
                      coverage, was considerably improved by making use of newly
                      developed satellite pointing and maneuvering capabilities.
                      The altitude coverage was extended to include the upper
                      troposphere where water vapor distributions are analyzed.
                      Dynamically induced features are observed in practically all
                      trace gases and at various spatial scales. The smallest
                      scales that could be analyzed on the basis of the CRISTA
                      data set are well below 100 km. Compared to the first
                      mission, much more emphasis was laid on measurements in the
                      upper mesosphere and lower thermosphere-this was possible
                      because of higher radiometric sensitivities in some
                      channels. Atomic oxygen, carbon dioxide, and ozone densities
                      are derived in the upper mesosphere and lower thermosphere.
                      The mission conditions allowed the study of polar
                      stratospheric clouds (PSC) over the Antarctic and of polar
                      mesospheric clouds (PMC) at high northern latitudes. For the
                      first time, summer high latitude mesopause temperatures were
                      retrieved from CO2 15-mum spectra using a nonlocal
                      thermodynamic equilibrium model. The derived temperatures
                      compare well with a temperature climatology based on rocket
                      soundings.},
