Simulations of gravity wave‐induced variations of the OH(8,3), O₂(0,1), and O(¹S) airglow emissions in the MLT region

Abstract

strongly depends on the rate coefficients in the three-body recombination reactions.

Photochemical modeling of molecular and atomic oxygen based on multiple <i>in-situ</i> emissions measured during the Energy Transfer in the Oxygen Nightglow rocket campaign

“…Yankovsky et al (2016) and Yankovsky et al (2007) reported on differences among O 3 altitude profiles obtained by using the modified kinetic model of Mlynczak et al (1993) and the YM2011 model. Huang and George (2014) on the basis of the photochemical O( 1 S) nightglow model proposed by Hickey et al (1997). The first implementation of O 2 (c) as the O( 1 S) precursor seems to be carried out by Torr et al (1985) on the basis of multiple emissions simultaneously measured from the Spacelab 1 shuttle.…”

“…The O( 1 S) precursor was also assumed to be O 2 (c) by Greer et al (1981) describing in-situ measurements of the ETON campaign and Hickey et al (1997). Huang and George (2014) tuned some rates of quenching reactions on the basis of measurements of the green line emissions at 557.7 nm and the Atmospheric band emissions at 864.5 nm. The vibrational transition 0 − 1 of the electronic transition (Meinel, 1950).…”

“…The vibrational transition 0 − 1 of the electronic transition (Meinel, 1950). Prof. Huang provided rate coefficients of the model of Huang and George (2014) for VER{O 2 (b − X)} of the O 2 (b − X){0 − 0} transition, but the same reactions were…”

Gravity waves-induced airglow temperature variations, phase relationships, and Krassovsky ratio for OH(8,3) airglow, O2(0,1) atmospheric band, and O(1S) greenline in the MLT region

“…The MACD model consists of the same SFWM and a multiple-airglow chemistry model for O 2 atmospheric bands ((0,0) and (0,1)) and O( 1 S) greenline (Huang and George, 2014). The SFWM simulates a linear, transient, dissipative gravity wave packet (Hickey et al, 2000).…”

“…The results of gravity wave-induced airglow secular variations and fluctuations of these airglow intensities have been published in Huang and George (2014) (HG2014, hereafter). Since both studies use the same numerical models for the investigations, the reader is referred to HG2014 for the methodology and for more detailed model description.…”
