TL;DR: In the 1982 and 1983 Balloon Intercomparison Campaigns, the vertical profile of stratospheric NO2 was measured remotely by nine instruments and that of NO by two.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared a wide range of remote sensing techniques involving both emission and absorption in the mid-infrared and emission techniques in the far infrared regions of the spectrum.

TL;DR: The results of the Balloon Intercomparison Campaign (BIC-1 and BIC-2) are reported in this article, with a few exceptions, within 95% confidence level uncertainties and generally within 15% above 20 km.

TL;DR: A major intercomparison of balloon-borne stratospheric sensors took place in fall 1982 and spring 1983 as discussed by the authors, where 4 gondolas were launched close together from Palestine, Texas.

TL;DR: In this paper, the results obtained on the Balloon Intercomparison Campaign of 1982 and 1983 were compared using results obtained from two in-situ and four remote instruments, including ECC ozonesondes, a UV absorption photometer, and microwave emission, IR emission and absorption spectrometers.
