Valve-controlled-balloon-borne quadrupole-mass-spectrometer measurements of proton hydrates, nonproton hydrates of the form H(+)X(l)(H2O)(m), and heavy-mass ions at altitudes from 30 to 22 km are reported. Data were collected on two daytime flights from Gap-Tallard, France, in June 1981 and 1982; the rate of descent of the 100,000-cu-m balloon was 1 m/sec; total-ion-mode readings were taken during the nighttime ascents, while during the descents high-resolution, medium-resolution, and total-ion modes were employed. Signal instabilities and contamination are found to seriously influence the data obtained, especially the heavy-ion peaks attributed to multiion complexes. The molecule X in the nonproton hydrate population is tentatively identified as CH3CN and found to originate in the lower stratosphere and to be slowly destroyed at higher altitudes. the need for further research over a more extended range of altitudes is stressed.
