Climate models which incorporate the middle atmosphere require comprehensive global data sets for their validation. Above the middle stratosphere (about 10 hPa) there are almost no ground-based measurements, so satellite observations are the main source of global observations at lower pressures. Some uses of satellite data sets to validate aspects of the circulation of the Berlin general circulation model (GCM) are presented; they illustrate systematic deficiencies in the model. A brief summary of the GRIPS (GCM-Reality Intercomparison Project for SPARC) initiative, which intends to compare a set of models with observations in an attempt to determine our current capability of simulating the climatology of the middle atmosphere is given. Finally, some thoughts on future uses of satellite data for the validation of such models are presented.
