O_{2} Emission Bands in the Infrared Spectrum of the Night Sky.
Abstract
A study of the profile of the (0, 1) 8645 A band of the atmospheric `~ - ~ system of 02 has in- dicated a normal rotational temperature of 1500 ± 20° K. A temperature of 2000 ± 10° K was oh- tain&I from a spectrogram that recorded a strong enhancement of this band on December 29, 1949. The temperature and a comparison with the OH emission bands places the oxygen-emission stratum at 80km. I. EMISSION-BAND INTENSITIE
