The concentration of telluric carbon monoxide has been determined in the upper stratosphere from infrared solar spectra recorded by balloon in October 1978 and September 1979, over Texas. The average mixing ratios were found to be (2.1 plus or minus 3) x 10 to the -8th ppv and (3.7 plus or minus 0.4) x 10 the the -8th ppv above the float altitudes of 30.6 and 36.8 km, respectively. The concentration profile deduced from all the measurements indicates that the CO mixing ratio increases in the upper stratosphere, from (1 plus or minus 0.3) x 10 to the -8th ppv at 30.6 km, to about 4 x 10 to the -8th ppv above 41 km.
