Abstract

The stratospheric water vapour altitude profile has been derived from a measurement of the attenuation of solar infrared radiation at 2Β·61ΞΌ using a rocket‐borne sensor. The solar zenith angle during the flight, which was made from Woomera in April 1970, was 98Β°. The water vapour to air mixing ratio obtained was in the range 0Β·5 to 2ΞΌg/g in the lower stratosphere, with an upper limit of 4ΞΌg/g at 45km.

## 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 wet‐bulb equation, using dry‐ and wet‐bulb thermoco
