Scientific paper

The Optical Spectrograph and InfraRed Imager System (OSIRIS) onboard Odin and the Cloud Imager and Particle Size instrument (CIPS) onboard AIM provide complementary scattered light measurements of polar mesospheric clouds. While OSIRIS applies limb geometry and spectral analysis, CIPS applies downward observations and phase function analysis. Each instrument can provide global data of cloud occurrence frequency, particle size and ice water content. These climatologies can be combined given that differences in the instrument response functions can be quantified. In addition to statistical comparisons, detailed common volume observations are available. We discuss possibilities and limitations of combining the different observation and analysis techniques. We also demonstrate how tomographic techniques open new ways of co-analysing the combined datasets.
