Scientific paper
Results are presented for balloon-borne solar observations in near- and intermediate infrared regions not accessible from the ground, with as high a resolution as possible. The stratospheric equipment used consists mainly of a 38.5-cm aperture telescope coupled to a 2.5-m focal length Ebert-Fastie grating spectrometer used in double pass with a narrow slit. The solar spectrum between 1.8697 and 1.8753 microns as observed from an altitude of 27 km with a spectral resolution of 0.04/cm is discussed. A major advantage of high-resolution high-altitude operation is that the lines of either Fraunhofer or telluric origin are readily discernible on the basis of their half-widths. The solar spectrum displaying the Q-branch of the nu-3 band of methane is obtained and discussed. A summary of atmospheric observations relative to the chemical composition of the upper stratosphere is presented.
