Some theoretical aspects and quick results of a balloon observation of gravity waves and turbulence in the middle stratosphere are shown. Turbulence layer thickness, previously observed by some workers, is theoretically related to the distance between the critical level and breaking level of internal (inertia-) gravity waves. It is predicted that the microstructure in the layer may involve multiple" gust layers". The observation was carried out by using" adapted Gill-type" propeller anemometers which scanned through 600 min depth under the balloon for over 30 hours. Quick analyses demonstrate that multiple" gust layers" of 10-50 min thickness often appear in the middle stratosphere (altitude: 24-26 km). Vertical shear reaches 10-1 s-1 in the layers, which may be enough to generate turbulence. It is suggested that extended analyses of this observational data will give information on the input of wave momentum flux into the middle atmosphere.
