The Sounding of the Atmosphere using Broadband Emission Radiometry (SABER) experiment was launched on December 7, 2001 into a 74.1 degree inclined, 625 km orbit onboard the TIMED satellite. The primary science goal of SABER is to achieve major advances in understanding the structure, energetics, chemistry, and dynamics in the atmospheric region extending from 60 to 180 km altitude. SABER has been operating almost continuously since activation using the space flight proven experiment approach of spectral broadband limb emission radiometry applied in 10 selected infrared spectral bands ranging from 1.27 micrometers to 17 micrometers wavelength. Observed limb emission profiles are being processed on the ground to provide vertical profiles with 2 km altitude resolution of O3, H2O, CO2, O, H, energetics parameters and temperature. Measurements are made both night and day over the latitude range from 52S to 83N with alternating hemisphere coverage every 60 days. We describe in this paper a preliminary climatology of temperature and ozone using retrieval version 1.04 and show updates using the latest V1.06 retrieval. Zonal means, polar projections, temporal variability, day/night behavior and "typical" responses to geophysical events will be described. The latter is described using NO radiance observations.
