Abstract
The previous speakers have discussed the general aspects of atmospheric IR measurements. In this discussion I will emphasize atmospheric IR measurements made using a balloon platform. Currently available balloons will carry 500 kg instrumentation packages to 40 km almost routinely. This weight capability is of considerable advantage for IR measurements, and the balloon is a very good vehicle for making measurements up to these altitudes.
