abstract = {The CRyogenic Infrared Spectrometers and Telescopes for the
Atmosphere (CRISTA) experiment measured atmospheric limb
infrared emissions in the altitude regime from the upper
troposphere to the lower thermosphere during two Shuttle
missions in November 1994 and August 1997. From the recorded
spectra trace gas densities and temperature fields were
derived on a very dense spatial grid. In the mesosphere and
lower thermosphere trace gas and temperature retrievals were
carried out with the help of a state of the art non-LTE
(non-local thermodynamic equilibrium) model coupled to a
line-by-line radiative transfer code. The upper atmosphere
data include densities of carbon dioxide, ozone, atomic
oxygen, and temperature. All parameters were derived for day
and night with the exception of CO2 which is available for
daytime only. Additional trace gases in the mesosphere
include water vapor, methane, and carbon monoxide. The main
findings are a substantial depletion of CO2 between 80 and
100 km, high ozone concentrations in the secondary maximum
(upper mesosphere) during night, a tertiary ozone maximum
near the winter polar terminator in the middle mesosphere
and well developed dynamically induced structures in
latitude as well as in longitude. Such structures are also
observed in the lower thermosphere where the distribution of
atomic oxygen was measured up to about 180 km altitude. The
atomic oxygen concentrations encountered in the thermosphere
during solar minimum are much lower than predicted by MSIS.
