Resolving the mesospheric nighttime 4.3 µm emission puzzle: Laboratory demonstration of new mechanism for OH(υ) relaxation
Abstract We report laboratory results that support a recently proposed mechanism for relaxation of highly vibrationally excited hydroxyl radical by ground‐state oxygen atoms (Sharma et al., GRL 42, 4639–4647 (2015)). According to this mechanism, which eventually leads to an enhancement of nocturnal...
