Ion density, electric conductivity and this weighted mean mobility are deduced from simple 1-V characteristics of the condenser used. The conductivity profile observed is found to be fairly well coincident with the profile caluculated from a small ion balance theory below 12km, however, a disagreement between them is found to show up above 12km. The function of aerosols in the stratosphere is discussed as a plausible cause of the disagreement. We see that the number density, 0.5 per ㎤, of ten-micron size aerosols must be assumed at 25km altitude, if we prefer an interpretation of the disagreement exclusively by the aerosol effect.}, pages = {143--154}, title = {BALLOON OBSERVATION OF SMALL ION DENSITY AND ELECTRIC CONDUCTIVITY IN THE STRATOSPHEHE}, volume = {16}, year = {1969} }
