Kinetic parameters for OH nightglow modeling consistent with recent laboratory measurements
نویسنده
چکیده
An improved kinetic model for the Meinel bands of OH has been constructed from rate constants and Einstein A coefficients derived in recent laboratory experiments. Using a semiempirical parameterization of the state-to-state rate constants for OH(v) quenching by O2, the absolute OH(v) nightglow radiances are modeled to within the accuracies of the atmospheric constituent concentrations and the radiometric calibrations. Collisional quenching is found to be predominantly multiquantum at high v but single-quantum at low v.

Cure Kinetic of Polyurethane/Fluorinated POSS Hybrid
One of the decisive factors in obtaining the desired properties in coatings is their complete curing, which necessitates the study of kinetics of curing. In recent years, many studies have been conducted on the use of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) in coatings. Creating functional groups on POSS and using it in formulation can create new or improve the properties of coatings. I...

متن کاملA Full-Wave Investigation of the Use of a 'Cancellation Factor' in GW-Airglow Interaction Studies
Atmospheric gravity waves (GWs) perturb minor species involved in the chemical reactions of airglow emissions in the mesopause region of the earth's atmosphere. The so-called 'Cancellation Factor' (CF) is defined as a transfer function relating the amplitude of airglow brightness fluctuation to the amplitude of GW-induced fluctuation in temperature [Swenson and Gardner, 1998]. This transfer fac...
