Studies of Atmospheric Processes

Abstract

This semi-annual report details the current results obtained in experimentally and theoretically understanding the important radiation producing chemistry of high altitude fuel afterburning. The first section summarizes the experimental investigation of infrared chemiluminescence associated with oxygen atom attack of fuel species in the Flow Discharge Facility. The second section presents the results of experimental beam measurements of the intermolecular potentials of oxygen atom collisions with various plume species for use in theoretical calculations of vibrational excitation. The vibrational excitation calculations are summarized in section three of this report.
