We present the results of the first simultaneous ground-based microwave measurements of the middle-atmosphere ozone and temperature performed at the beginning of 2012 above Nizhny Novgorod (56 N, 44 E) during a sudden stratospheric warming. The detected features of the atmosphere dynamics are compared with satellite sounding data from an MLS instrument onboard the Aura satellite.
