AB: In addition to its regular operation in solar and lunar occultation modes, the SAGE III instrument has been used to measure limb scattering (LS) radiance spectra. Initial LS ozone retrievals have shown good agreement with correlative data available from ozonesondes, occultation data (from SAGE II and SAGE III), limb scattering data (from SOLSE/LORE-2 and ODIN/OSIRIS), and nadir viewing data (from TOMS). We outline a comprehensive validation plan for the SAGE III LS ozone profiles, and present preliminary results of this effort.
