Oran, E.S. and Strobel, D.F. (1976). Photochemically induced departures of [O] and [O2] from diffusive equilibrium distributions. Journal of Geophysical Research 81: doi: 10.1029/JA081i001p00257. issn: 0148-0227.

Photochemically induced departures of [O> and [O2> from diffusive equilibrium are found to depend principally on atmospheric composition, the solar flux between 1250--1750 ¿, and the EUV solar flux which produces O2 dissociation indirectly through odd nitrogen chemistry. Above 200 km the [O2> concentrations are ~20--35% less than diffusive equilibrium concentrations given by a Jacchia model atmosphere, while the O concentrations are enhanced by ~10%.
