The O I emission resonance triplet at 1302, 1304, and 1306 A in the solar spectrum is investigated on the basis of the theory of resonance-multiplet formation. A Boltzmann ground-state sublevel atomic-population distribution is assumed along with conserved scattering, total frequency redistribution in each level, Doppler line absorption coefficients, and a semi-infinite atmosphere. Triplet line profiles are constructed using a previously computed H-function for primary sources that diminish exponentially with depth, and the total intensities and fluxes are determined. Comparison with calculations for rectilinear line profiles shows that there is a substantial frequency redistribution. The results obtained are found to be in satisfactory agreement with observations.
