Within the Network for the Detection of Mesospheric Change, NDMC (http://wdc.dlr.de/ndmc), we currently operate 12 infrared spectrometers, which are nearly identical in set-up and data processing. These spectrometers are called GRIPS 5 to GRIPS 16 (GRound based Infrared P-branch Spectrometer) and allow the acquisition of rotational temperatures in the mesopause region making use of the OH*-airglow...
Satellite validation is often based on straight forward comparison of satellite-based data with non-satellite based measurements. For functional reasons satellite and reference measurements do usually not correspond exactly in time and space. Dynamical effects in the atmosphere lead to temporal and spatial variability of atmospheric parameters (e.g. temperature). This causes considerable differences...
