Description:
The vibrational energy distributions of hydroxyl molecules in the lower atmosphere were calculated. As expected, the distributions are found to be highly nonequilibrated. Attention is drawn to the role that vibrationally-excited molecules may play in modifying the chemistry of the lower atmosphere. The most likely role for the OH molecule in the stratosphere is via reactions that may not otherwise be energetically viable.
