Abstract

A vapour trap designed for sampling the water vapour and carbon dioxide of the stratosphere is described. The results of one flight at about 27 km over south‐east England are given and discussed.

## Abstract It is shown that within the stratosphere the humidity mixing ratio should remain constant with height, and a simple formula is derived, by means of which the total water vapour content of the stratosphere can be derived. This formula indicates that the total is 0Β·62 times the amount whi
