Abstract
IN 1960 Noxon and Vallence Jones1 with the co-operation of the Canadian Armament Research and Development Establishment launched a balloon-borne spectrometer and observed bands of the Δv = 1 sequence of upper atmospheric hydroxyl emission for the first time. Since then several balloon flights have been made from the Canadian Ajmament Research and Development Establishment for photometric measurements of the night air-glow from 2 to 4µ. A description of the spectrometer used and the results of these flights will appear soon2.
