Abstract

Performance of Superconducting Submillimeter-Wave Limb Emission Sounder (SMILES) onboard International Space Station was discussed from the analysis of random errors of Chlorine monoxide (ClO) in the stratosphere and mesosphere. Some lessons learned from the SMILES operation in space are discussed.
