Nitric oxide IR line parameters for the upper atmosphere

The Delta upsilon = 1 and 2 vibration-rotation bands of NO have been observed in the IR emission spectra of the upper atmosphere. Recent publications of spectroscopic constants, transition probabilities, and line intensities permit the compilation of a new set of NO line parameters applicable to high-resolution atmospheric and auroral spectra. The line parameters were calculated with a computer program developed at the University of Denver. The results are presented in tables and graphs.
