Solar ultraviolet flux data obtained within the atmosphere by using Fastie-Ebert double monochromators carried on a balloon-borne gondola and a rocket payload are analyzed. Both the direct and scattered components of the solar ultraviolet flux at wavelengths from 190 to 320 nm are measured at the balloon float altitude of 40 km. The nearly identical spectrometer carried on the rocket flight measures the direct solar flux from 60 to 38 km during a parachute descent. The ozone column content above 40 km and the temperature profile and ozone density below 40 km are deduced using the scattered and direct solar flux components. It is shown that the Nimbus 7 solar flux data are consistent with the present data and with the ozone absorption cross sections of Inn and Tanake (1959). The calculated and measured values of the scattered solar flux are found to agree fairly closely.
