X-ray measurements at balloon altitudes were made at Sao Jose dos Campos, Brazil on Dec. 18, 1981, using an omnidirectional NaI(Tl) scintillation detector. Atmospheric X-rays, namely secondary X-radiation from cosmic rays, were measured for the energy interval 30-155 keV, and up to an atmospheric depth of 5.5 g/sq cm. A comparison of the flux measured at the Pfotzer maximum during these measurements with those obtained previously by several research groups at other latitudes and with a similar technique has also been made. Finally, a comparison of the atmospheric component with that attributed to the diffuse component is also presented and it is concluded that both components are of about the same magnitude at about 5 g/sq cm and at about 11 deg S geomagnetic latitude.
