Scientific paper
The SOFIE (Solar Occultation for Ice Experiment) instrument, launched on-board the AIM (Aeronomy of Ice in the Mesosphere) satellite on April 25, 2007, is in its third year of operation, and will enter a sixth polar summer ice season in November 2009. In addition to unprecedented sensitivity to ice, water and ozone in the upper mesosphere, SOFIE has produced several other remote sensing first-time achievements. Meteoric smoke is being measured over time and altitude. Temperature is being routinely retrieved with <1.0 km resolution from tropospheric cloud tops to 60 km by measuring refraction angle with a precision of 0.02 arc seconds. Now PMC ice temperature profiles are about to become an operational product. We will present an overview of these and other results from the SOFIE experiment.
