Abstract
The design, construction, and performance of a combined solar telescope and Michelson interferometer for balloon-borne stratospheric far-IR absorption studies is discussed in terms of the relevant parameters and precautions necessary to obtain high resolution radiometrically calibrated spectra of the stratosphere between 20 and 100 cm(-1). Preliminary data are presented to indicate that the system performed as designed and provided constituent concentration values for H(2)O and O(3) from measurements of strong absorption lines in this spectrum.
