contributed to the success of MIPAS-STR onboard the M55
Geophyisca over many years. This work was supported by the
EU under the grant number RECONCILE-226365-FP7-ENV-2008-1.
We thank the RECONCILE coordination team, Myasishchev Design
Bureau and Enviscope for making the RECONCILE field campaign
a success. ECMWF data for the MIPAS-STR retrievals were
obtained via NILU's NADIR database. We acknowledge support

abstract = {The mid-infrared FTIR-limb-sounder Michelson Interferometer
for Passive Atmospheric Sounding-STRatospheric aircraft
(MIPAS-STR) was deployed onboard the research aircraft M55
Geophysica during the RECONCILE campaign (Reconciliation of
Essential Process Parameters for an Enhanced Predictability
of Arctic Stratospheric Ozone Loss and its Climate
Interactions) in the Arctic winter/spring 2010. From the
MIPAS-STR measurements, vertical profiles and 2-dimensional
vertical cross-sections of temperature and trace gases are
retrieved. Detailed mesoscale structures of polar vortex
air, extra vortex air and vortex filaments are identified in
the results at typical vertical resolutions of 1 to 2 km and
typical horizontal sampling densities of 45 or 25 km,
depending on the sampling programme. Results are shown for
the RECONCILE flight 11 on 2 March 2010 and are validated
with collocated in-situ measurements of temperature, O-3,
CFC-11, CFC-12 and H2O. Exceptional agreement is found for
the in-situ comparisons of temperature and O-3, with mean
differences (vertical profile/along flight track) of
0.2/-0.2 K for temperature and -0.01/0.05 ppmv for O-3 and
corresponding sample standard deviations of the mean
differences of 0.7/0.6 K and 0.1/0.3 ppmv. The comparison of
the retrieved vertical cross-sections of HNO3 from MIPAS-STR
and the infrared limb-sounder Cryogenic Infrared
Spectrometers and Telescopes for the Atmosphere-New
Frontiers (CRISTA-NF) indicates a high degree of agreement.
We discuss MIPAS-STR in its current configuration, the
spectral and radiometric calibration of the measurements and
the retrieval of atmospheric parameters from the spectra.
The MIPAS-STR measurements are significantly affected by
continuum-like contributions, which are attributed to
background aerosol and broad spectral signatures from
interfering trace gases, and are important for mid-infrared
limb-sounding in the Upper Troposphere/Lower Stratosphere
(UTLS) region. Taking into consideration continuum-like
effects, we present a scheme suitable for accurate
retrievals of temperature and an extended set of trace
gases, including the correction of a systematic
line-of-sight offset.},
