 A reference gas was made by diluting pure SF6 (Takachiho, >99.8%) with pure N2 into a tedlar bag(20l). By a two-step static dilution, a reference gas of SF6 in N2 was made. The SF6 in the tedlar bag was constant in a few days. The error in repeated measurements at 1.0ppt (sample size: 2ml) was 10%. In practice, volume mixing ratios of SF6 were calculated from those of CCl2F2 by making use of the fact that the peak height of SF6 was about 20 times higher than that of CCl2F2, which was eluted about 20s after SF6. Therefore, a mixed gas of 20ppm CCl2F2 and 20ppm CCl3F in pure N2 (Nihon Sanso) were used as a primary reference gas. In the measurement of the sensitivity ratio, a mixed gas of 10ppt SF6 and 400ppt CCl2F2 in pure N2 was used.
 Higher mixing ratios were often observed over urban areas up to an altitude of 2km.
The mean tropospheric mixing ratio for each observation flight was calculated excluding those values below an altitude of 2km.

 The air sampled on 1983.2.7, 11:46 at the height of 7000 m might be contaminated with a room air, because the mixing ratio of CFCl3 in the same sample was also high.
Air samples were collected on an Aircraft (Aerocommander 685 or Cessna 404) into stainless steel cylinders up to an altitude of 8km in February and December 1982, and February 1983.
