Scientific paper

Solar spectra obtained with the 1-m Fourier transform spectrometer on Kitt Peak were analyzed for absorption by N2O and CO. During the period 1979-1985, it is found that N2O shows no detectable seasonal variation or trend and can place an upper limit on the growth rate of 1 ppb per year. This is consistent with results of ground level gas sampling. For CO, a large seasonal variation is seen, but, because of inadequate sampling, a trend cannot be detected. Combined with other spectroscopic studies, the mean CO level suggests a Northern Hemisphere tropospheric scale height for CO of about 3.5 km.
