The results obtained from a flight with a balloon-borne infrared spectrometer are described. The spectrometer was designed to scan from the visible to 4.3 microns, but on this flight only the region from the visible to 2.7μ was obtained. In this region, the bands of interest are 1.4μ and 1.9μ H2O bands. Spectra were obtained from the ground to 65,000 feet. The water vapor bands had completely disappeared above 46,000 feet.
