Abstract
Molecular oxygen is important in atmospheric models because (1) it is the only major constituent which participates appreciably in chemical reactions with other species, including hydrogen-containing species, (2) it shields all molecules below a certain level from the solar ultraviolet and thereby determines the dissociation rates of the various species, and (3) it is an important source of O atoms through normal dissociation and predissociation.
