For more than 30 years, a two-step mechanism was used to explain observed Atmospheric band emission (762 nm) in mesopause region. A new mechanism, which leads to the formation of electronically excited molecular oxygen that gives this emission, was proposed recently. We show, based on an analytical solution, that the fit-functions for Atmospheric band volume emission in the case of the two-step mechanism and the new Kalogerakis–Sharma Mechanism (KSM) have analogous expression. This derivation solves the problem of consistency between the well-known two-step mechanism and the newly proposed KSM.

关于 Kalogerakis-Sharma 机制 (KSM) 与大气波段发射 (762 nm) 两步机制之间一致性的说明

30 多年来，人们使用两步机制来解释在中层顶区域观测到的大气带发射（762 nm）。最近提出了一种新机制，它导致形成电子激发的分子氧，从而产生这种发射。我们基于解析解表明，在两步机制和新的 Kalogerakis-Sharma 机制 (KSM) 情况下，大气带体积发射的拟合函数具有类似的表达式。这种推导解决了众所周知的两步机制与新提出的 KSM 之间的一致性问题。
