The results of theoretical calculations of the transition probabilities and photon scattering coefficients for H2O(+) molecules in solar radiation are presented. The calculations were made for the various electronic and vibrational bands of the deformational transition. A table is presented which lists the wavelengths of the H2O(+) transitions for conditions on the earth. The H2O(+) bands observed in comets are found to be the most intense, and therefore most suitable for measurement. For the conditions of comet Kohoutek, the photon scattering coefficient was 0.22 photons/sec per molecule at AU 0.51 and 0.032 photons/sec per molecule at 1.5 and 1.37 AU from the sun on January 10, 1974.
