The IR limb emission of the lower stratosphere has been measured using a balloon-borne liquid nitrogencooled Michelson interferometer with liquid helium-cooled Si:Ga detectors. Portions of the thermal emission spectrum have been recorded between 650 and 2000 cm(-1) with an unapodized spectral resolution of 0.03 cm(-1). This is the highest spectral resolution limb emission thus far obtained. A preliminary description is given of these data along with a discussion of the significant features. Species identified to date include CO(2), O(3), CFCl(3), CF(2)Cl(2), H(2)O, CH(4), HNO(3), N(2)O, NO(2), and ClONO(2). A tentative identification is made for NO, representing the first direct spectroscopic detection of NO in emission.
