Comments: The spectroscopy, structure, and photochemistry of the radical are examined. Here, the object is to establich 
the spectroscopic basis for detection of the radical and measurement of its concentration in the laboratory and in the 
atmosphere. Infrared, visible, and paramagnetic resonance spectra are considered. An important quantity discussed is the 
absorption cross section in the visible region, which is required for quantitative measurements.
