During January 2003, inflatable falling spheres were launched on small Super Loki rocket motors, as part of the Mountain and Convective Waves Ascending Vertically (MaCWAVE) Campaign at ESRANGE. The aim of launching these small rockets was to obtain temperature and wind data to assess mountain wave initiation and propagation. During this period, daily inflatable spheres were also launched for support of the Sage III Ozone Loss and Validation Experiment 2 (SOLVE-2) campaign designed to validate SAGE-3. The in situ data were examined on numerous occasions since the temperature profiles were in a state that caused one to wonder whether features observed in the temperature structure, although unique, are valid. We used the temperatures retrieved from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) to compare with the spheres using "structure function" and correlation analysis. Direct comparison of the original profiles suggested that such functions would be difficult to construct; nonetheless, information from the analysis was possible. Temperatures retrieved from the Sounding of the Atmosphere using Broadband Emission Radiometry SABER satellite were also used as an alternate to AIRS. The resulting analysis compares temperatures obtained from the three sources, spheres, AIRS, and SABER. Although not perfect, reasonable agreement is found between the inflatable sphere and SABER temperatures. Concluded from this comparison is a more positive insight in the value of falling sphere temperatures.
