Scientific paper

The oxygen airglow emissions of the upper mesosphere and lower thermosphere are reviewed in order to demonstrate how the densities of atomic oxygen can be recovered from remotely sensed measurements of oxygen airglow emission rates. In many instances the photochemical parameters and rate coefficients that are used to relate the atomic oxygen densities to the local airglow emissions have only been derived from airglow studies and have not been measured or validated in the laboratory. In other cases the kinetic parameters obtained from airglow studies are in conflict with the values obtained in laboratory experiments. In this paper we attempt to identify the key reactions that need to be measured in the laboratory in order to validate the recovered atomic oxygen densities and we discuss the reactions for which there are serious discrepancies between the results of laboratory studies and atmospheric investigations.
