Significant attention is focused on the study of the upper atmosphere and the potential effects of changes in the climate, weather, and protection provided by the ozone layer. The NASA Upper Atmospheric Research Satellite (UARS) (figure 1) , will provide a global, continuous, and comprehensive look at the upper atmosphere over an 18 month period with scheduled launch in the fall of 1991. The Cryogenic Limb Array Etalon Spectrometer (CLAES) will derive Stratospheric temperatures and constituent number densities from the measurement of infrared spectral emissions. Overviews of the CLAES experiment and hardware are given by Roche et al (Ref 1) and Burriesci et al. (Ref 2).
