Notes.

(a)

This paper – Odin observations of ground state o-H2O (see text).

(b)

This paper – Herschel SPIRE mapping observations plus modeling (see text).

(d)

Pre-shock density; the post-shock density becomes an order of magnitude higher.

(e)

From Odin observations of ground state o-H2O and o-HO, assuming an ortho-to-para ratio of 3 (Karlsson et al. 2013).

(g)

From Herschel SPIRE oservations (Meijerink et al. 2013).

(h)

From Herschel HIFI, SPIRE and PACS observations (Liu et al. 2017).

(i)

From the Sandqvist et al. (2015)Herschel HIFI 487 GHz search for O2.

(j)

The abundance scales ≈ inversely with cloud density.

(k)

Lower abundances may be accomodated by PDR models, while the high ones indicate shocks (see Comments).

(l)

Fast shock model abundance (Flower & Pineau des Forêts 2010) in an effective accumulated 10″ size area (see Comments).

(n)

From slow shock chemistry, in case FIR pumping dominates (González-Alfonso et al. 2010, 2012, 2014).
