Detection of fluorocarbons in the stratosphereInfrared absorption spectral measurements are applied to selected balloon flight data to detect CF2Cl2 and CFCl3 in the stratosphere. Identification of the fluorocarbons from absorption spectra is described, and the results are compared with previous models of fluorocarbon content at 21 km. A volume mixing ratio is derived for CF2Cl3 and a probable ratio is estimated for CFCl3. An upper limit for HF in the lower stratosphere up to 30 km is set based on data from a balloon flight.
