Scientific paper

The development of the theory of the 5577 A emission from the upper atmosphere is reviewed. Evidence from both aeronomy and chemical kinetics shows that the Barth mechanism is a much more important source of O(1S) than in the Chapman process. The molecular oxygen state involved is probably c 1 Sigma u - (the upper state of the Herzberg II band system).
