Abstract
Many compounds of interest in stratospheric chemistry have strong infrared absorption bands. Data concerning their altitude distribution have been obtained using balloon-borne instruments to gather solar occultation and atmospheric limb emission spectra in the middle infrared. Specific examples are given illustrating the capabilities and limitations of the techniques.
