AB: A new generation of sub-millimeter-wave receivers employing sensitive SIS (Superconductor-Insulator-Super-conductor) detector technology will provide new opportunities for precise remote sensing measurements of stratospheric molecules. Balloon-borne submillimeter limb emission sounder (B-SMILES) equipped SIS mixer was launched in September 2004 in Sanriku Japan, and had measured several stratospheric species. Simultaneous measurements of HCl, ClO, HO2, HOCl, HNO3, CH3CN, O3, and O3 isotopes, provide a much more complete picture of the chemical process in the stratosphere than has previously been possible. The retrieval results have demonstrated these measurements over an altitude range. These results will be a candidate of the validation of satelite observation, AURA/MLS, specially for the super minor molecules, such as HO2 and HOCl.
