Scientific paper

The state of knowledge of the IR atmospheric and the atmospheric emission band systems of molecular oxygen is reviewed. These emissions are present in the nightglow, the twilight, and the dayglow. The available observations are collected in a data base model with the capability of displaying and manipulating the data in a number of ways. The observational data base is used to examine the state of theoretical understanding of the atmospheric photochemistry of these emissions. These emissions are of interest to future space experiments - in particular the WINDII and HRDI experiments on the Upper Atmospheric Research Satellite (UARS) - which will use them to measure state parameters of the middle atmosphere such as temperature and wind velocity. While the IR Atmospheric system in the dayglow is both well characterized observationally and well understood theoretically, the other emissions are neither, suggesting an immediate need for additional work in this area to support UARS.
