Height distribution of the upper atmosphere continuum infrared emissions
Abstract
We calculated the absolute integrated intensity of the continuum emission infrared components using the laboratoryobtained rates of photochemical reaction between nitric oxide molecules and oxygen atoms, as well as with non-excited and excited ozone molecules. Altitude distribution of the intensity of continuum radiation in atmosphere in infrared region of a spectrum covers a range of heights of the middle atmosphere from 10 up to 15 km with a maximum at height about 30 km.
