OH level populations and accuracies of Einstein-<i>A</i> coefficients from hundreds of measured lines
<p>OH airglow is an important nocturnal emission of the Earth's mesopause region. As it is chemiluminescent radiation in a thin medium, the population distribution over the various roto-vibrational OH energy levels of the electronic ground state is not in local thermodynamic equilibrium (...
