Observation of strato-mesospheric CO above Kiruna with ground-based microwave radiometry – retrieval and satellite comparison

CO serves as a tracer for dynamics in the polar winter middle atmosphere. This work presents the retrieval and the characterization of ground-based CO measurements from the winters 2008/2009 and 2009/2010 by the Kiruna microwave radiometer KIMRA, located in northern Sweden (67.8° N, 20.4...
