Infrared spectra of the Short-Wavelength Spectrometer (SWS) of ISO at wavelengths between 25 - 45 μm have provided the first detection of stratospheric H2O on all four giant planets and Titan. Together with SWS observations of CO2 at 14.98 μm, leading to first detections on Neptune, Saturn and Jupiter an external source of oxygen is required to explain the derived upper stratospheric mixing ratios of up to several ppb at mbar-μbar levels. We provide an overview on the required amounts of external oxygen fluxes and a detailed discussion on the various scenarios for the origin of CO2 in the stratospheres of the giant planets.
