Scientific paper

Samples of stratospheric air were obtained at altitudes up to about 35 km from balloon flights carried out at 4 deg S (Brazil), 78 deg S (Antarctica), and 41 deg N (two flights, Wyoming) in 1978. The samples obtained were analyzed for methane using a gas chromatograph with flame ionization detection. The two Wyoming profiles and the Antarctica profile are similar. However, the Brazil profile, which is the first low-latitude stratospheric-methane profile reported, falls off much less rapidly with altitude, even when reduced to a common tropopause reference. The use of these methane profiles to deduce OH profiles is explored.
