An empirical determination of the dipole moment function of OH(X 2Π)

Abstract
An electric dipole moment function (EDMF) for OH has been derived by combining airglow and laboratory intensity measurements with recent high precision measurements of the dipole moments for v=0,1, and 2. This empirical EDMF shows remarkable agreement with the a priori MCSCF(7)‐SCEP EDMF. However, it differs sufficiently to produce transition probabilities which are in much better agreement with observations than previously available sets.
