The high resolution submillimetre spectrum of the stratosphereThe structure of the stratospheric spectrum, measured with a resolution of 0.0033/cm unapodized in the 7-90/cm spectral interval is described. The spectra from measurements recorded on April 24, 1979 from a balloon-borne platform at about 39 km altitude launched from the National Scientific Balloon Facility of Palestine, TX are presented. The main spectroscopic constituents include a few strong and saturated lines due to the rotational spectrum of water vapor, to magnetic dipole transitions of oxygen, and to the rotational spectrum of ozone. It is shown that the lines of ozone prevent the positive identification of the contribution to the submillimeter spectrum of several minor constituents such as HF, HCl, HCN, HNO3, and N2O. The assignments which are possible in the spectra are revised.
