SABER Data Quality Status

• Good confidence in retrieved temperatures up to
  95 km
• - NLTE data especially important outside the
  tropics
• NLTE O3 agrees with HALOE to within 20 for
  20 km to
• 60 km. High bias in the mesosphere with
  respect to HALOE.
• Very good agreement between SABER 1.27?m and
  9.6?m O3
• LTE H2O in the stratosphere biased high with
  respect to
• HALOE
• Broad scale O3 and H2O morphology appears to be
  reasonable
• Radiance and volume emission rate quality is
  excellent
• Retrievals using line mixing and optimized
  pressure
• registration window provides significant
  improvements
