Scientific paper

We have developed an OH Meinel (3,1) airglow emission of the earth's middle atmosphere calculating the population at each vibrational level using the Einstein coefficients for spontaneous emission. The model was then incorporated into the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model (WACCM) [Garcia et. al., 2007] and a simulation of one year was completed. Model OH intensities were compared to absolute intensities from South Pole Station, Antarctica (90°S) and Resolute Bay, Canada (74.68°N, 94.90°W). Both of these stations employ identical Michelson Interferometers, which operate continuously (24 hours a day) during the polar night for each station's winter season. Model simulations and observations were compared to study temporal variations in absolute intensity of OH airglow emission.
