The principal advantages and disadvantages of spectroscopic techniques as a means of deducing the composition of the middle atmosphere are reviewed. A brief general survey is given, which includes methods using natural or artificial radiation sources, used in remote-sensing or local sampling configurations, and at spectral wavelengths ranging from the ultraviolet to the microwave. Limitations of space dictate an emphasis on the infrared methods using natural radiation sources employed by most workers in this field. Composition results obtained by using spectroscopic techniques have often had an important effect on the development of our understanding of the middle atmosphere, and an attempt is made to describe some of the more important measurements of recent years, and the significance of the new results they have produced. This discussion of new results is brought up to date with a description of a recent balloon-borne infrared experiment.
