The present paper describes a plan for correlative measurements dedicated to the satellite sensor ILAS (Improved Limb Atmospheric Spectrometer)-II. ILAS-II, a solar occultation sensor with three infrared spectrometers and a visible spectrometer, is a successor to ILAS. ILAS-II was launched on 14 December 2002 onboard ADEOS-II, and its continuous measurements were started on 2 April 2003 after some test measurements. ILAS-II will measure vertical profiles of mixing ratios of ozone and ozone-related species, aerosol extinction coefficients, and atmospheric temperature and pressure in the altitude range of ~10-60 km (depending on species), with an altitude resolution of 1 km in high latitudes. The ILAS-II Validation Balloon Campaign at Kiruna-ESRANGE (68N, 21E) in March-April 2004 will be considered as the core one among various other correlative experiments. Other plans for correlative measurements will be briefly presented. Some of the ILAS-II correlative measurement data might be useful for validation of other satellite sensors, and vice versa.
