Scientific paper

Preliminary results of three balloon-borne composition measurements of stratospheric positive ions are reported. The balloon-borne mass spectrometer probe (BMS) employed consists of a quadrupole mass filter which is mounted inside a vacuum tank. Three daytime flights of the BMS were conducted over southwestern France on September 12th, September 26th, and November 10th, 1977. The obtained data confirm the presence of proton hydrates (PH) and of some other ion species (NPH) in the stratosphere. Following the suggestion made by Arnold et al. (1977), it is concluded that the NPH are probably formed from PH by proton transfer reactions with a trace gas whose concentration is estimated to be 70,000 per ccm at 37 km.
