Recent comparison of upper stratospheric and mesospheric temperatures measured with the HALOE instrument on UARS and the rocket-borne Passive Inflatable Falling Sphere (PIFS) launched from NASA's Wallops Island revealed comparability. Temperature bias of up to 10K between 68 and 72 km was noted but reprocessing of the sphere's radar measurements has reduced the magnitude of the bias. HALOE temperature profiles are verified as being similar to those of the PIFS, agreeing within 5-7K over the range of 30-87 km. HALOE sunrise-sunset mean temperatures are discussed for mid- and high-latitude observation sets. HALOE mid-latitude profiles illustrate a wavelength in the upper stratosphere of about 30 km, similar to what would be expected from a diurnal wavelength. High-latitude profiles reveal small sunrise-sunset differences below 70 km and about 11K above. The analysis used to prepare this report verifies that HALOE's measurements are similar to those of meteorological rocket launched close in space and time to the satellite's ephemeris and should be used to extend specific databases especially at those locations no longer launching meteorological rockets.
