Theoretical calculations MQDT

This raises the question whether one can use the relative strengths of the green and red airglows as a measure of the electron temperature. Before this question can be answered, however, the discrepancy between green airglow data from rocket measurement as a function of altitude, and the quantum yield derived for OJCv O) from the CRYRING experiment and from MQDT calculations must be resolved. A possible source of this discrepancy could be the presence of vibrationally excited Of in the ionosphere. Theoretical work to explore the effects of vibrational excitations and isotopic substitutions has been started.
