title: High resolution solar spectrometer system for measuring atmospheric constituents.
abstract: A mid IR Michelson interferometer capable of obtaining 0.002-cm(-1) resolution solar spectra has been developed for balloon use. The interferometer is based on the Bomem self-aligning instrument, and is equipped with a solar tracking system, telemetry, and recording systems, as well as temperature control and gondola orientation. The interferometer has made two successful flights in the 7-14 microm (700-1300-cm(-1)) interval up to 40 km. The basic systems are described and sample spectra are presented.
