Abstract
With the successful launch of the European Space Agency's Envisat satellite new possibilities for global night-time measurements of middle atmospheric ozone have emerged. The GOMOS and MIPAS instruments on board Envisat are able to measure ozone in both day and night conditions, which is especially important in the mesosphere where the diurnal variations of ozone are substantial. In this paper, we present a comparison of MIPAS and GOMOS night-time measurements. We show individual measurement profiles as well as statistical average profiles of stratospheric and mesospheric ozone from both instruments. Our conclusion is that the two instruments are generally in a good agreement throughout the middle atmosphere.
