Abstract

Measurements of stratospheric composition have now been made by the Halogen Occultation Experiment (HALOE) on board NASA's Upper Atmospheric Research Satellite (UARS) since October 1991. Amongst the parameters measured are water vapor, H₂O, and methane, CH₄. These species comprise the dominant components of the total hydrogen budget in the lower stratosphere, but not so at higher levels, where the molecular hydrogen, H₂, component is significant, and at high altitudes is dominant. This paper reports on measurements of the water vapor and hydrogen fields in the stratosphere and mesosphere, and on studies of the derivation of molecular hydrogen in the mesosphere.
