Energetic oxygen in the upper atmosphere and the laboratory
Article Abstract:
New tools like the sky spectra are generated at large telescopes in the atmosphere. Sky spectra show that in the atmosphere there is discernible population in the b(super 1)sigma(sub g)(super +) manifold up to b(super 1)sigma(sub g)(super +) (v = 15), which may be related to the fact that in the laboratory higher levels are not detected.

Laboratory studies of atmospheric reactions at low temperatures
Article Abstract:
The major laboratory methods that are used to study the kinetics of elementary reactions at low and very low (less than ca. 80 K) temperatures are reviewed laying some emphasis on the limitations of each method. The measurements of rate constants for reactions between OH and different co-reagents are emphasized.

Toward a quantitative analysis of association reactions in the atmosphere
Article Abstract:
Association reactions are frequently encountered in atmospheric chemistry, on the temperature, on the concentration and on the chemical nature of the third-body gases. The complicated dependence of the rates of association reactions can be rationalized well in terms of unimolecular rate theory.
