DeMajistre, R., Yee, J. and Zhu, X. (2001). Parameterizations of oxygen photolysis and energy deposition rates due to solar energy absorption in the Schumann-Runge Continuum. Geophysical Research Letters 28: doi: 10.1029/2001GL013010. issn: 0094-8276.

Parameterizations of the photolysis of molecular oxygen and corresponding energy deposition rates by solar radiation in the Schumann-Runge continuum are presented. This parameterization is based on UARS/SOLSTICE version 9 daily solar irradiance and accounts for solar activity using 10.7 cm solar flux as a proxy. The error in the parameterization is 2% and the uncertainty introduced by using the 10.7 cm solar flux as a proxy is 5--10%. The parameterization is of suitable accuracy and efficiency to be used as part of multidimensional models. ¿ 2001 American Geophysical Union
