Abstract
In this paper we present a complete summary of the data obtained with the f
ar-infrared polarimeter, Stokes, in flights of the Kuiper Airborne Observat
ory. We have observed 12 Galactic clouds and have made over 1100 individual
measurements at 100 mu m and 60 mu m. The median P for all of the 60 mu m
and 100 mu m measurements is 3.6% and 2.6% respectively. We also present fl
ux maps obtained simultaneously with the polarimetry.
