Photochemically Induced Departures of (O) and (O2) from Diffusive Equilibrium Distributions.
Abstract
Photochemically induced departures of (O) and (O2) from diffusive equilibrium distributions are found to depend principally on atmospheric composition, the solar flux between 1250-1750 A, and the euv solar flux which produces O2 dissociation indirectly through odd nitrogen chemistry. Above 200 km the (O2) concentrations are about 20-35% less than diffusive equilibrium concentrations given by a Jacchia model atmosphere, while the O concentrations are enhanced by about 10%.
