Scientific paper

The Solar Occultation For Ice Experiment (SOFIE) onboard the AIM satellite has completed measurements of two northern and one southern polar mesospheric cloud (PMC) seasons, and continues routine operation. This work describes results using the record of SOFIE PMC, temperature, and water vapor measurements. SOFIE temperatures are now based on non-local thermodynamic equilibrium retrievals, and are up to 10 K cooler than previous SOFIE results. Connections between variability in ice properties and temperature and water vapor are explored. The water budget in the upper polar mesosphere is examined using observations of ice content and water vapor. Comparisons of SOFIE and CIPS results within the common volume will be discussed.
