High resolution, balloon-borne emission spectroscopy of trace species in the lower stratosphere - N2O5, HNO3A liquid-nitrogen cooled Fourier transform spectrometer (SIRIS) measures thermal limb-emission of the stratosphere from a balloon platform at a nominal altitude of 40 km, under night and day conditions, with a 3 km vertical resolution. N2O5 and HNO3 mixing ratios inferred from emission spectra are compared with previous measurements and with the predictions from a one-dimensional photochemical model.
