Abstract
A new technique has been developed using a millimetre-wave radiometer to measure the concentration profiles of H2O and O3 in the lower stratosphere from a balloon platform. The technique differs from previous microwave remote sensing techniques in being able to carry out measurements with much greater resolution, allowing it to resolve the finer structure in the vertical distributions of H2O and O3. The first flight of the new instrument took place from the French launch site at Aire-sur-l'Adour during the 1983 MAP/GLOBUS campaign. The basic principles of the new technique and the method of data analysis are described in the paper together with the results from the first flight. The results obtained were found to exhibit many of the important features seen by previous workers and are discussed in detail in the paper.
