Measurements of the Atmospheric System (AS) of the O2 and green line of O(1S) emission profiles have been analyzed and photochemical schemes chosen to explain these measurements. During night-time, both emissions can be mainly explained by energy transfer mechanisms following atomic oxygen recombination. The analysis of the emissions shows that the O2(b1Sigma + g) state could be produced via a precursor having the ratio of the rate coefficient of quenching by atomic oxygen to that by molecular oxygen equal to three, while the precursor of the O(1S) state would have a quenching ratio greater than five. The only available observation of the AS dayglow has been used to derive an altitude profile of the mesospheric ozone by the use of a photochemical scheme that includes O2 photoabsorption and transfer from O(1D) as the main sources of O2(b1Sigma + g) during the daytime.
