Abstract
Infrared spectroscopy is one of the most powerful diagnostic methods for the study of atmospheric composition. One of its useful attributes is the ability to remotely sense portions of the atmosphere far from the instrument. This attribute is particularly useful when measuring strato-stratospheric trace gases as a function of latitude, since at many atitudes, especially in the tropics, there are no convenient balloon launch locations for in situ measurements.
