Vertical distribution of stable trace gases at mid-latitudes

Journal Article · · J. Geophys. Res.; (United States)
Vertical profiles of H/sub 2/, CH/sub 4/, CO, N/sub 2/O, CFCl/sub 3/, and CF/sub 2/Cl/sub 2/ resulting from gas chromotographic analysis of air samples collected from altitudes between 1.5 and 35.3 km at a latitude of about 44/sup 0/N are presented. Ten balloon flights were performed with a neon-cooled cryogenic air sampler designed to collect large air samples at eight different stratospheric heights. Supplementary tropospheric air samples were taken aboard a chartered aircraft. Vertical profiles from 1978 to 1979 are compared with those derived from fights in 1977.
