The first measurements of ozone 9.6-micron band limb emission obtained from the Sounding of the Atmosphere using Broadband Emission Radiometry (SABER) on board the Thermosphere-Ionosphere-Mesosphere Energetics and Dynamics (TIMED) satellite are investigated using a non-LTE radiative transfer model. In general, the sensitivity of the 9.6-micron limb emission below 30 km to ozone concentration is greatly reduced when it becomes optically thick. Around the mesopause region, the limb emission profiles are a function of competing effects between the decrease of emissivity due to decreasing ozone concentration and the increase of the source function due to radiative pumping from the stratopause. Using the ozone profiles derived from independent measurements made by the Midcourse Space Experiment (MSX) satellite stellar occultation experiment we find general consistency between the measured and calculated limb emission profiles. The ozone 9.6-micron limb radiances at high latitude during winter observed by SABER are generally consistent with the previously reported MSX data. We will present an analysis of SABER radiances from the viewpoint of assessing the existence of a tertiary ozone maximum (~1-2 ppmv) near 72 km and confirming the presence of a large ozone mixing ratio (~10 ppmv) near 90 km as observed by MSX.
