Synthetic emission spectra from two stratospheric altitude observations have been analyzed for the presence of H{sub 2}O{sub 2} in the far infrared region. The calculations are made with a high spectral resolution (10{sup {minus}3} cm{sup {minus}1} or 10{sup {minus}4} cm{sup {minus}1}) greater than those in experimental measurements which are in the region of 3.10{sup {minus}3} cm{sup {minus}1}. Spectra cover a spectral interval between 40 and 120 cm{sup {minus}1} showing the best features of H{sub 2}O{sub 2} susceptible to observation in a stratospheric spectrum. The optimum conditions for identification have been considered. Using the variations in H{sub 2}O{sub 2} abundance in the measurement data and photochemical models, the H{sub 2}O{sub 2} features detection limits have been studied.
