Abstract

Forty years ago Chapman (1930) showed that the dissociation of molecular oxygen was important above 100 km and, therefore, that the aeronomic behavior of ozone was related to the dissociation of oxygen below 100 km (Chapman, 1943). Furthermore, twenty years ago, vibrational-rotational bands of the hydroxyl radical OH, which appear in the airglow (Meinel, 1950), aroused interest in the photochemistry of hydrogen-oxygen compounds (Bates and Nicolet, 1950a; Herzberg, 1951) and, in particular, of methane (Bates and Nicolet, 1950b) and of water vapor (Bates and Nicolet, 1950c).
