Abstract The humidity of the air was measured with a pressurized Dobson‐Brewer hygrometer in a Canberra aircraft up to heights of about 50,000 ft over southern England on 35 occasions during 1954. The frost point decreased with increasing height in the stratosphere and usually approached a constant value of − 115°F to − 120°F a few thousand feet above the tropopause.
