Figure 10
Solution of the rate equations for the stratosphere (60 km altitude) representing the evolution of (a) the photon density , (b) the photon density , (c) the lower and (d) the upper population density, (e) the thermal energy density, and (f) the gas (atmospheric) temperature as a function of time.
