| Abstract: | The development of the theory of the 5577 Å emission from the upper atmosphere is reviewed. Evidence from both aeronomy and chemical kinetics shows that the Barth mechanism is a much more important source of than in the Chapman process. The molecular oxygen state involved is probably c1Σ?u (the upper state of the Herzberg II band system). |
