Measurement of the stratospheric mixing ratio of HCl using infrared absorption technique
Abstract
Approximate mixing ratios of HCl in the stratosphere have been derived from solar spectra obtained during sunset with a balloon-borne grating spectrometer. The HCl mixing ratio increases from 0.15 × 10-9 to 1.2 × 10-9 vol HCl/vol Air in the 13.4-27 km altitude range with a possible decrease above 27 km.
