## 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 southβeast England are given and discussed.

## Abstract During an experiment performed in tropical regions, water vapour content was measured in the lower stratosphere, using long duration balloons. A set of profiles show a vertical structure consistent with what has been named the tapeβrecorder effect. One of the results, when the balloon d
## Abstract An apparatus is described for the direct measurement of humidity mixing ratio. It is designed primarily for recording the turbulent fluctuations in the mixing ratio in the lower atmosphere, and is based on an electrical analogue of the wetβbulb equation, using dryβ and wetβbulb thermoco
## 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
