The dayglow of the O2 atmospheric O2(1Sigma) band system has been simulated by taking into account the three main production mechanisms of the O2(1Sigma) state resonance fluorescence, a photochemical term due to quenching of O(1D), and a pure chemical process. Values of the emission rate, which are involved in the resonant scattering of the O2 atmospheric bands (A, B, and gamma), have been obtained as a function of altitude (0-120 km) and solar zenith angle using a line-by-line calculation. The values of the emission rate, along with updated rate coefficients, have been used in the calculation of the production rate of O2(1Sigma) and the volume emission rate of the (O2 1Sigma, v prime = 0)-(O2 3Sigma, v double prime = 0) transition. The results of these calculations are compared to observational measurements and are found to be in excellent agreement.
