Notes. The reference model used in our calculations of the fluxes is adapted from Webber et al. (2003) (Webber 03) and is compared to previous releases by Webber et al. (1990) (Webber 93) and Webber et al. (1998) (Webber 98) as well as to the work from Silberberg et al. (1998) (S&T 00). The dominant production channels, which involve the stable isotopes of carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen, are listed in boldface.
