Abstract
The paper presents the effect of O3 depletion on OH (8,3) band. It is shown that Bates-Nicolet theory for the excitation of OH band is predominant excitation process. Calculations based on chemical kinetics show that the intensity of OH (8,3) band will also be effected due to the depletion of O3 concentration. O3 is depleted everywhere specially at Antarctica. Intensity of OH (8,3) band is calculated theoretically for Halley Bay (76° S, 27° W), British Antarctic survey station during the period 1973 to 1984.
