Abstract Far infrared limb thermal emission spectra obtained from balloon borne measurements made as a part of the Balloon Intercomparison Campaign (BIC) have been analyzed for retrieval of stratospheric trace constituent distributions. The measurements were made with a high resolution Michelson Interferometer and covered the 15–180 cm−1 spectral range with an unapodized spectral resolution of 0.0033 cm−1. The retrieved vertical profiles of O3, H2O, HDO, HCN, CO and isotopes of O3 are presented. The results are compared with the BIC measurements for O3 and H2O made from the same balloon gondola and with other published data. A comparison of the simultaneously retrieved profiles for several gases with the published data shows good agreement and indicates the validity of the far infrared data, the retrieval techniques and the accuracy of the inferred profiles.
