Correction [to “Quenching of 0(S) by O2(a Ag)”]

Abstract

A recent paper "Quenching of o(ls) by 02 (alA g), by T.G. Slanger and G. Black was inadvertantly omitted from the table of contents. The correct reference is Geophysical Research Letters, Vol. 8, No. S, pages S5S-S58.

The role of metastable species in the thermosphere

“…The effect of the omission of the atomic oxygen quenching of O(•S) is to modify the efficiency to 22-29%, still in reason-able agreement with the laboratory results of Meyer et al [1970]. There is evidence for quenching below 110 km, and this might well be O2(1Ag), as suggested by Slanger and Black [1981]. These results were subsequently reanalyzed by Zipf [1979], who found the yield to be lower (2-3%).…”

“…In the case of the Herzberg I emission it was assumed that the third body is N2 and that the reaction rate coefficient is 4.7 • 10-33(300/T)2 cm 6 s - Thomas [1981] results are also supported by a recent paper by Slanger and Black [1981], who now have found that their earlier laboratory studies did not consider the presence of O2(a•Ag). They report that the quencher is indeed O2(a•Ag) with a reaction rate coefficient of 1.7 x 10 -•0 cm 3 s -•.…”

“…For A tot and A 297.2 , we use the values 1.34 and 0.08 s, respectively, as recommended by Gkouvelis et al (2018). We adopt quenching coefficients 𝐴𝐴 𝐴𝐴𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶 2 = 3.2 × 10 −11 exp(-1323/T) (cm 3 s −1 ; Gkouvelis et al, 2018), k CO = 7.4 × 10 −14 exp(-957/T) (cm 3 s −1 ; Capetanakis et al, 1993), and k O < 1.2 × 10 −14 (cm 3 s −1 ; Krauss & Neumann, 1975;Slanger & Black, 1981).…”
