The Equivalent Mean Absorption Cross Sections for the O2 Schumann-Runge Bands: Application to the H2O and NO Photodissociation Rates
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Absorption of solar radiation by O2 in the Schumann-Runge band region is important not only for the production of O(3P) in the atmosphere, but also for H2O and NO photodissociations which depend upon the rotational structure ...
Ozone Photochemistry and Radiative Heating of the Middle Atmosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The distributions of minor atmospheric constituents, principally O3 and O(3P), and their contributions to the heat sources and sinks in the earth?s middle atmosphere (30?100 km) are investigated. The latitudinal and seasonal ...
Summer Polar Chemistry Observations in the Stratosphere Made by HALOE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Regions of low stratospheric ozone that are anticorrelated with HCl, NO, and NO2 levels have been observed in the Arctic and Antarctic summers of 1992 and 1993 by the Halogen Occultation Experiment on the UARS platform. ...
