Scientific paper
The Odin satellite has so far provided 13 seasons of noctilucent cloud observations. Odin is now run as an ESA Third Party Mission and data are made available within this framework. This report describes the noctilucent cloud data product as obtained from the Optical Spectrograph and Infrared Imager System (OSIRIS). The analyzed data comprise cloud ocurrence, brightness, and particle size. Odin's mesospheric observation programme has successively been extended and offers today daily measurements during the noctilucent cloud season. Odin's latitude coverage is unique with measurements all the way to the pole in the southern hemisphere. Odin noctilucent cloud data provide thus an excellent basis for studies of spatial, seasonal and interannual variability, hemispheric differences, and dynamical influences on the polar summer mesopause. Co-analysis with other satellite and ground-based observations is ongoing.
