Solar UV fluxes in the 200-400 nm range have been measured at up to 39 km altitude on the Stratcom VII-A balloon flight. A filter-wheel UV Spectrophotometer was used to make measurements at ten wavelengths over this range. Flux vs solar zenith angle data were obtained for ascent, descent/sunset, sunrise and cut-down. Ascent, descent/sunset, and load cut-down gave vertical profiles of solar UV flux to below 10 km. The total ozone values derived from the UVS measured fluxes allow ozone densities to be calculated for ascent and descent which are in good agreement with the measured local ozone densities. A good measurement of the 220 nm solar flux in the ozone-oxygen atmospheric window was made. The result is .00000327 W/sq cm-nm), and together with other measurements indicates some dependence of the 220 nm solar flux on sunspot number and 2800 MHz solar flux.
