For the 40-115 km atmospheric layer, the populations of 19 vibrational states of the O3 molecule have been calculated for sets of vertical profiles of temperature and concentration of O and O3. A peculiar feature of the day and nighttime vertical profiles of the vibrational temperature of the states is at its maximum in the height range 75-90 km which is due to the formation of vibrationally excited molecules of O3 in the recombination: O2 + O + M yields O3 + M. On the basis of the calculated populations of the states, the limb and downward atmospheric emissions in the 4.8 and 9.6-micron O3 bands have been estimated, as well as the contributions of the constituents of the band of vibrational transitions.
