An atlas of high resolution infrared emission spectra identifies a number of gaseous atmospheric features significant to stratospheric chemistry in the 770--900- and 1100--1360-cm/sup -1/ regions at six zenith angles from 86.7 to 95.1/sup 0/. A balloon-borne Michelson interferometer was flown to obtain /similar to/0.03-cm/sup -1/ resolution spectra. Two 10-cm/sup -1/ extracts are presented here.
