The considered evaluation shows that the revised quenching rate of O(1D) by N2 in the thermosphere derived from the data of Hays et al. (1978) is k(N2) = 2.3 x 10 to the -11th cc/s, in excellent agreement with the laboratory results of Streit et al. (1976). The laboratory measurements of the O(1D) and O(1S) transition coefficients by Kernahan and Pang (1975) are consistent with the aeronomic results of Frederick et al. (1976), Kopp et al. (1977), Hays et al. (1978), and Rusch et al. (1978) and are in agreement with the theoretical calculations. The revised value of J(O2) = 1.5 x 10 to the -6th per s is in agreement with the observations of Heroux and Swirbalus (1976). The specific recombination rate of O2(+) leading to the production of O(1D) is alpha(1D) = 2.1 x 10 to the -7th cc/s at ionospheric electron temperatures, in good agreement with the laboratory measurement by Zipf (1970).
