Abstract
For the first time, results are available from the last four balloon flights of the Oxford radiometer, which uses pressure modulators to measure NO and NO2 in the stratosphere. Since the radiometer senses thermal emission from the atmospheric limb, vertical profiles can be deduced at any time of day or night. These flights all took place from Texas from 1980 to 1983. Each lasted about 12 hours except the 1982 flight, which lasted over 20 hours
