Nitric oxide vibrationally excited levels and controlling processes in the Earth’s upper atmosphere during the daytime

Vibrational Kinetics of NO and N2 in the Earth's Middle Atmosphere During GLE69 on January 20, 2005

“…(2016), and Bouziane et al. (2022). The purpose of those papers was to examine the mechanisms responsible for the production of NO(X 2 Π, v > 0) in the upper atmosphere and infrared radiation of NO under quiescent and aurorally excited conditions.…”

“…The primary sources of vibrationally excited NO in the upper atmosphere have been discussed by Kockarts (1980), Caledonia and Kennealy (1982), Gordiets et al (1982), Gordiets (1986), Sharma et al (1996), Kirillov and Aladjev (1998), Cartwright et al (2000), Mlynczak et al (2003), Winick et al (2004), Campbell and Brunger (2007), Venkataramani et al (2016), andBouziane et al (2022). The purpose of those papers was to examine the mechanisms responsible for the production of NO(X 2 Π,v > 0) in the upper atmosphere and infrared radiation of NO under quiescent and aurorally excited conditions.…”

“…(2016), and Bouziane et al. (2022) have studied production and loss mechanisms of vibrationally excited NO molecules both for a quiet atmosphere and for disturbed by high‐energetic particle precipitations. Special attention in the papers was devoted to the infrared 5.3 and 2.7 μm emissions of NO molecules radiated in the spontaneous transitions $$$\mathrm{N}\mathrm{O}\left({\mathrm{X}}^{2}{\Pi },v > 0\right)\,\to \,\mathrm{N}\mathrm{O}\left({\mathrm{X}}^{2}{\Pi },{v}^{\prime }=v-1\right)+\mathrm{h}{\nu }_{5.3}$$$ $$$\mathrm{N}\mathrm{O}\left({\mathrm{X}}^{2}{\Pi },v > 1\right)\,\to \,\mathrm{N}\mathrm{O}\left({\mathrm{X}}^{2}{\Pi },{v}^{\prime }=v-2\right)+\mathrm{h}{\nu }_{2.7}$$$ where X 2 Π is the ground state of the NO molecule.…”

Vibrational excitation cross sections for non-equilibrium nitric oxide-containing plasma

“…The vibrationally excited levels of NO, for example, play a fundamental role in understanding the chemical processes occurring in the upper atmosphere. In fact, it has been proven that their distribution is very sensitive to the fast auroral electrons in ionosphere, which are directly connected to the solar activity [1]. fixation processes, which refer to the formation of compounds such as ammonia and nitrate from nitrogen molecules, is one of the most important industrial activities in agriculture [9].…”
