Excitation Mechanism

The reaction rates of nine upper atmosphere chemical reactions have been analyzed with a digital computer. The dependence of the loss rates of atomic nitrogen and atomic oxygen as well as the relative concentrations of nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide in the upper atmosphere are given. Using a flow system, nitrogen atoms were produced and then titrated by the addition of NO. The resulting nitrogen and oxygen atom densities were measured with an e.p.r. spectrometer. The dependence of the intensities of the nitrogen afterglow and the NO afterglow were related to the atom densities. An excitation mechanism for OI 5577 has been determined from the relation of the intensity of λ 5577 to the atom densities.

Further evidence for the utility of thin silver films as detectors of atomic oxygen in the upper atmosphere is given. Measurements show that under prescribed conditions no correction for rate of oxidation or rate of change of oxidation is necessary.

Emission features from ionized carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide were measured in the 1900- to 4300-Å spectral region. The Lyman-α 1216-Å line of atomic hydrogen and the 1304-, 1356-, and 2972-Å lines of atomic oxygen were observed.
