The validation of local temperature profiles of the mesosphere is difficult. Individual HALOE temperature profiles are compared with those from ground-based Rayleigh lidar measurements and from inflatable falling spheres. Because of noise, lack of good coincidence, and the effects of gravity waves and tides, there can be large differences between an individual HALOE /correlative measurement pair. However, biases can be determined and understood when a large ensemble of paired-profiles is examined, particularly for those months when there are easterlies present in the stratosphere. As a result, we conclude that the time series of zonally-averaged temperature profiles from HALOE is both accurate and representative of its seasonal and longer-term periodic variations at locations and times when no PMCs are present. We will provide examples to support this conclusion.
