## 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 rocketβborne sensor. The solar zenith angle during the flight, which was made from Woomera in April 1970, was 98Β°. The water vapour to air
## 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 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
