| Abstract: | Kinetic processes taking place in the atomic-molecular system O-O2-O3 in the middle atmosphere with the participation of oxygen molecules in the excited electronic states O2(a
1Δg) and O2(b
1Σ
g
+
) are analyzed in detail. The possibility of increased ozone production under the influence of solar radiation during the
laser excitation of O2 molecules in the a
1Δg state is demonstrated on the basis of numerical modeling. Upper and lower bounds are determined for the densities of O2(a
1Δg) molecules at which the ozone concentration increases in the irradiated zone.
