Three millimeter-wavelenght transitions of ClO were searched for in the stratospheric emission spectrum during May--August 1977 using aircraft-based instruments. The measurements indicate that if stratospheric ClO has a vertical distribution of the form predicted by present photochemical models, then the ClO volume mixing ratio at the profile peak did not exceed 10-9 at the time and place of the measurements. The observed spectra suggest the presence of ClO in the stratosphere but do not provide a definitive detection.
