Stimpfle, R.M. and Anderson, J.G. (1988). In-Situ detection of OH in the lower stratosphere with a balloon borne high repetition rate laser system. Geophysical Research Letters 15: doi: 10.1029/88GL03938. issn: 0094-8276.

Midday stratospheric OH density measurements have been carried out within the altitude interval of 31 to 24 km using the laser induced fluorescence technique deployed on a balloon-borne gondola launched from Palestine, Texas on July 15, 1987. Laser output at 282 nm is produced with a pulsed, 17 kHz repetition rate, copper vapor laser pumped tunable dye laser. The OH mixing ratio ranged from 16¿5 ppt at 31 km to 4¿3 ppt in the 27 to 24 km region. Simultaneous ozone and water vapor measurements were also obtained with separate instruments. ¿ American Geophysical Union 1988
