AB: Retrieval algorithms for the High Resolution Dynamics Limb Sounder (HIRDLS) will be presented. HIRDLS is a 21-channel infrared limb sounder with a vertical resolution of 1-km and a twice per day global coverage achieved with a horizontal sampling of 5 by 5 degrees in latitude and longitude and an altitude coverage from the upper troposphere to the mesosphere. Detailed simulations of the HIRDLS measurement and retrieval process will be compared to the on-orbit performance and the quality of the Level-2 data products for a selection of the measured species (Temperature, O3, H2O, CH4, N2O, NO2, N2O5, HNO3, ClONO2, CFC11, CFC12, aerosols and cloud top height) will be shown.
