The authors present corrections developed for use with the Halogen Occultation experiment, a shuttle launched mission to measure NO{sub 2}, H{sub 2}O, O{sub 3}, HF, CH{sub 4}, and NO. The system was put in orbit slightly after the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo. If corrections are not factored into the measurements, the increased absorptivity will bias strongly the inferred densities of these trace gases in the stratosphere.
