Abstract: Oscillator strengths and predissociation linewidths deduced in recent studies predict a dissociation rate for O2 in the Schumann-Runge bands which is significantly larger in the upper stratosphere and lower mesosphere than ...

Abstract: Knowledge of the agronomic production of odd hydrogen in the dissociation of water vapor is limited by uncertainties in the penetration of solar irradiance in the Schumann-Rung bands of O2 and by incomplete information ...

Abstract: Absorption of solar photons by nitric oxide in the wavelength ranges 181.3?183.5 and 189.4?191.6 nm leads to predissociation of the molecule in the mesosphere and upper stratosphere. Molecular oxygen controls the penetration ...

Abstract: Radiation is the driving force for the general circulation of the atmosphere and controls the Earth's climate. Ozone is responsible for the warm stratosphere and protects life on Earth from harmful solar ultraviolet ...
