abstract = {The Gimballed Limb Observer for Radiance Imaging of the
Atmosphere (GLORIA) was operated on board the German High
Altitude and Long Range Research Aircraft (HALO) during the
PGS (POLSTRACC/GW-LCYCLE/SALSA) aircraft campaigns in the
Arctic winter 2015/2016. Research flights were conducted
from 17 December 2015 until 18 March 2016 within 25–87°N,
80°W–30°E. From the GLORIA infrared limb-emission
measurements, two-dimensional cross sections of temperature,
HNO3, O3, ClONO2, H2O and CFC-12 are retrieved. During 15
scientific flights of the PGS campaigns the GLORIA
instrument measured more than 15000 atmospheric profiles at
high spectral resolution. Dependent on flight altitude and
tropospheric cloud cover, the profiles retrieved from the
measurements typically range between 5 and 14km, and
vertical resolutions between 400 and 1000m are achieved. The
estimated total (random and systematic) 1σ errors are in
the range of 1 to 2K for temperature and $10\%$ to $20\%$
relative error for the discussed trace gases. Comparisons to
in situ instruments deployed on board HALO have been
performed. Over all flights of this campaign the median
differences and median absolute deviations between in situ
and GLORIA observations are −0.75 K ± 0.88K for
temperature, −0.03 ppbv ± 0.85ppbv for HNO3,
−3.5 ppbv ± 116.8ppbv for O3,
−15.4 pptv ± 102.8pptv for ClONO2,
−0.13 ppmv ± 0.63ppmv for H2O and
−19.8 pptv ± 46.9pptv for CFC-12. Seventy-three
percent of these differences are within twice the combined
estimated errors of the cross-compared instruments. Events
with larger deviations are explained by atmospheric
variability and different sampling characteristics of the
instruments. Additionally, comparisons of GLORIA HNO3 and O3
with measurements of the Aura Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS)
instrument show highly consistent structures in trace gas
distributions and illustrate the potential of the
high-spectral-resolution limb-imaging GLORIA observations
for resolving narrow mesoscale structures in the upper
troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS).},
