Abstract
Far infrared spectral features of HBr have been observed in the strato spheric emission spectrum using a balloon borne high resolution Fourie r transform spectrometer equipped with a high sensitivity detector spe cially designed for this purpose, The value of 1.6 +/- 0.6 parts per t rillion in volume for the HBr mixing ratio has been retrieved, from th e global-fit analysis of 121 spectra, in the 25 - 36.5 km altitude ran ge. The result is briefly compared with models and previous assessinen ts.
