Rogers, J. W., Stair, A.T., Degges, T.C., Wyatt, C.L. and Baker, D.J. (1977). Rocketborne measurement of mesospheric H₂0 in the auroral zone. Geophysical Research Letters 4: doi: 10.1029/GL004i009p00366. issn: 0094-8276.

Infrared emission spectra of the long-wavelength wing of the 6.3 &mgr;m water band between 6.7 and 7.6 &mgr;m have been measured in the mesosphere using a cryogenic rocketborne spectrometer. The resulting zenith radiance profile has been compared with a high altitude radiance model resulting in a volume mixing ratio of 3.5¿2.2 ppm between 49 and 70 km.
