Simultaneous in situ measurements of the long-lived trace gases N(sub 2)O and CH(sub 4) were made with a tunable diode laser spectrometer (ALIAS II) aboard the Observations from the Middle Stratosphere (OMS) balloon platform from New Mexico, Alaska, and Brazil during 1996 and 1997.

The use of an electromechanical device for optically positioning a mirror system during the pre-project phase of the Pluto Fast Flyby mission was evaluated at JPL. The device under consideration was a piezoelectric driven linear motor functionally dependent upon a time varying electric field which induces displacements ranging from submicrons to millimeters with positioning accuracy within nanometers.
Using tandem mass spectrometry various water ion interactions were observed. These reactions consisted of a series of charge transfer, proton transfer, and isotopic exchange steps. The experimental data sets consist of variations of ion abundances over a neutral pressure range. An expected sequence of isotopic exchange reactions is given along with differential equation solutions & reaction rate data.
The distribution of unimolecular lifetimes of ion-molecule complexes formed in association reactions has been measured by ion cyclotron double-resonance. The mean unimolecular lifetimes of (H(sub 2)C(sub 6)N(sub 2)(sup +))(sup *) and (CH(sub 3)CN.CH(sub 3)(sup +))(sup *) were determined to be 180 (micro)s and 140 (micro)s respectively. A theoretical examination of the distribution of lifetimes of (CH(sub 3)CN.CH(sub 3)(sup +))(sup *) was conducted using a RRKM model. The RRKM distribution, when modified by experimental constraints, was found to be a good approximation of the experimentally determined lifetime distribution. The lifetimes for unimolecular dissociation and radiative relaxation, and the absolute efficiency of collisional relaxation are also reported.

An intercomparison of four Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometers, operated side by side by JPL, NCAR, and NPL groups, using two different spectral fitting algorithms, was conducted at JPL's Table Mountain Facility (TMF) during November 1996.
