Scientific paper

During a balloon flight at 45 km altitude, a quadrupole-like anisotropy in the stratospheric emission in the FIR, aligned in the North-South direction with a typical amplitude of 0.03 K was found. A sudden increase in the amplitude of the anisotropy was found with a time scale of 1 hr and the amplitude was found to be wavelength dependent (0.25 K at 100 microns and 0.15 K at 600 microns wavelength). This is consistent with an anisotropy in the water-vapor distribution of the order of 5 percent.
