Detailed line intensities of the rotational-vibrational spectrum of OH are calculated for various rates of population of sixteen bound vibrational levels in which the rotational level populations are in thermal equilibrium. The line intensities are convolved with the instrument function of the Visible Airglow Experiment on the AE C and E satellites to obtain spectra for comparison with the atmospheric data. Within the uncertainties, a model can be constructed that reproduces the observed spectrum. Synthetic spectra are computed for the OH Meinel system between 2000 A and 5.5 microns. The maximum intensity occurs between 1 micron and 2 microns.
