Stratospheric composition balloon-borne experiment 23--26 September 1975. Research and development technical report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6690146
;
Within the period September 1968 to September 1975, six balloon-borne experiments were conducted under the title of 'STRATospheric COMPosition (STRATCOM) Experiments.' The initial experiments (September 1968 and September 1969) were designed to measure the temperature variations near an altitude of 50 km that were to be associated with the diurnal stratospheric tide. Requirements by the Department of Defense for information concerning stratospheric composition, as well as measurements of national interest to the possible pollution of the stratosphere by the Super Sonic Transport and by chlorofluorocarbons, gradually increased the number, types, and complexity of measurements conducted during each successive experiment. This composite report presents, in one publication, the related results obtained from the various experiments comprising the STRATCOM VI-A and VI-B payloads as determined by the various experimenters. The results, coupled with the ECOM Report 'Correlation of Selected Atmospheric Composition Parameters for the Mid-Latitude September Stratosphere,' are representative of the correlated multi-instrument approach of the STRATCOM Program to the experimental study of the stratosphere, backed by chemical kenetic theory and atmospheric modeling.
