Scientific paper

A novel cryogenic Fourier Transform Spectrometer (FTS) was developed for limb emission measurements in the mid IR region from balloon-borne platforms. Details of this spectrometer are given and the first two flights of the MIPAS balloon experiment are reported. During the first the spectral region 690 to 960 /cm was covered. The second flight took place with an additional filter region from 1160 to 1400 /cm. Limb emission spectra were collected from 33 km and 38 km floating altitudes covering tangent height between the middle troposphere and the float altitude. The trace gases CO2, H2O, O3, CH4, N2O, HNO3, N2O5, ClONO2, CF2Cl2, CFCl3, CHF2Cl, CCl4 and C2H6 have been identified up to now in the measured spectra. These gases play an important role in the ozone chemistry and/or climate system.
