Electronic kinetics of molecular nitrogen and molecular oxygen in high-latitude lower thermosphere and mesosphere
Total quenching rate coefficients of Herzberg states of molecular oxygen and three triplet states of molecular nitrogen in the collisions with O<sub>2</sub> and N<sub>2</sub> molecules are calculated on the basis of quantum-chemical approximations. The calculated rate coef...
