Scientific paper

Photochemically induced departures of O and O2 densities from diffusive equilibrium distributions are found to depend principally on atmospheric composition, the solar flux between 1250-1750 A, and the EUV solar flux which produces O2 dissociation indirectly through odd nitrogen chemistry. Above 200 km the O2 concentrations are about 20-35% less than diffusive equilibrium concentrations given by a Jacchia model atmosphere, while the O concentrations are enhanced by about 10%.
