Abstract

Experimental data on the characteristic concentrations of atomic oxygen in the upper atmospheres of the Earth and Mars are considered in the paper. The values of the integrated intensities of Herzberg I bands for the middle latitudes and the equatorial zone of the Earth are calculated, as well as for the northern latitudes and the equatorial zone of Mars. The correlation of theoretically calculated results for the emission intensities of the bands of electronically excited molecular oxygen in the Earth’s atmosphere in the spectral range of 250–370 nm and of experimental data on the glow of molecular oxygen obtained from the Discovery cosmic shuttle (STS-53) is discussed. The calculated values of the column integrated intensities of the Herzberg I band system in the Earth’s atmosphere for various seasons and for points of the equinox of Mars are presented. It is shown that at the middle latitudes of the Earth during the period of low solar activity, the maximum values of integral intensities are typical for July, but in the equatorial zone they are typical for April. In the northern latitudes of Mars, the maximum values occur at the moment of the autumn equinox.

原子氧的季节和纬度变化对地球和火星夜间大气自发射强度影响的研究

摘要

本文考虑了地球和火星高层大气中原子氧特征浓度的实验数据。计算了地球中纬度和赤道带以及火星北纬和赤道带的赫茨伯格 I 波段的积分强度值。地球大气中250-370 nm光谱范围内电子激发分子氧谱带发射强度的理论计算结果与发现号宇宙飞船（STS- 53）进行了讨论。给出了不同季节和火星春分点地球大气层赫兹伯格 I 波段系统柱积分强度的计算值。结果表明，在地球中纬度地区，太阳活动低度时期，积分强度最大值典型出现在7月份，而在赤道地区，积分强度最大值典型出现在4月份。在火星北纬地区，最大值出现在秋分时刻。
