Abstract:A critical analysis has been made of solar irradiance in the spectral region covering wavelengths from 100 nm upwards; the absorption characteristics of molecules of oxygen and ozone have been taken into account with a view to the direct application of the results to atmospheric photochemistry. The absorption of radiation by these molecules results in the photodissociation of both of them in the homosphere, and it also makes possible the penetration of solar radiation from the thermosphere, through the mesosphere and the stratosphere, down to the troposphere.Special attention has been given to each of the following spectral regions: Lyman-alpha radiation at 121.6 nm, the O2 Schumann-Runge continuum at wavelengths less than 175 nm, the O2 Schumann-Runge band system from 200 to 175 nm, and the O2 Herzberg continuum at 242.4 nm. For absorption by ozone, the solar spectrum has been analysed in the following regions: the Hartley band at wavelengths less than 310 nm, the Huggins bands at wavelengths above 310 nm and the visible Chappuis bands. Finally, for the photodissociation of O3, particular attention has been given to the transition region (300–320 nm) in which there is a change-over from the production of the excited atom O(1D) to that of the atom in its ground state O(3p).
