Scientific paper

Volume emission profiles of the O2(b1Sigma + g - X 3 Sigma g)(O-O) atmospheric band and the O(1S-1D) green line are used together with coordinated measurements of the atomic oxygen concentrations to test the hypothesis that both emissions are excited by Barth type mechanisms. Precursor quenching rates are obtained as a function of altitude. These quenching profiles can be well resolved into components corresponding to collisional deactivation by O(3P) and O2(or N2), and support the suggestion that Barth type mechanisms are involved. Minimum efficiencies for the production of the two precursors in oxygen atom recombination and ratios for the quenching of each by O(3P) and O2 (or N2) are deduced.
