N1 - Acknolrledgemenrs-Support of the National Science Foundation (grants NSF-CHE-85-21584 and NSF-CHE-89-14401) is appreciated. Support in the form of teaching assistantships and fellowships from the School Chemical Sciences at the University of Illinois is also appreciated. The authors would like to extend their gratitude to B. J. Mork for the use of his VAX-based Abel inversion code and to D. L. Miller for his help in translating the VAX-based code to PC-based code. Thanks also to M. A. Lovik for his helpful suggestions concerning Abel inversion filtering.

N2 - Quadratic Stark broadening of Ar(I) emission lines was used to measure the spatial distribution of the electron concentration in individual high voltage spark discharges. Corrections were made for ion broadening asymmetry and the instrument transfer function. Within the measurement uncertainty, the spatial distribution of the electron concentration did not vary from spark-to-spark. The uncertainty was limited by the imprecision in knowledge of the electron temperature, which was estimated using a LTE model.
