The role of spectral resolution and of instrumental sensitivity in astronomical spectroscopy conducted from aircraft is discussed. One cause of difficulty in changing atmospheric transmission is the variations in water vapor content above the aircraft. A main source of uncertainty in measurements is the modulation of the observed signal.
