Scientific paper

The stratospheric H2O mixing-ratio profile in the 10-24 km altitude range is derived from in situ measurements by a new technique which measures the OH fluorescence produced when H2O molecules are photodissociated by a VUV light source. The flight instrument and its calibration are described in some detail. A decrease of the mixing ratio is observed from 24 km down to 21 km. The stratosphere-troposphere transition shows vertical structure.
