The distribution of isotopically heavy ozone in the stratosphere has been obtained from analysis of balloon-based high-resolution thermal emission spectra in the far infrared. The mixing ratio profiles of (O-16)(O-16)(O-18) and (O-16)(O-18)(O-16), retrieved from inversion of several limb sequences of a number of spectral lines in the 39-76/cm region, indicate enhancements over the expected values in the 25- to 37-km altitude range. The ratio of total heavy isotopic ozone (10-50)3 to normal (O-48)3 shows enhancements of about 45 percent at 37 km, decreasing to a minimum of about 13 percent at 29 km, and increasing to about 18 percent at 25 km. The results from this work are compared with Mauersberger's (1987) in situ mass spectrometer measurements.
