The electronic energies of the lowest {sup 3}A{prime} and {sup 3}A{double_prime} states of the O({sup 3}P) + H{sub 2} system were calculated for 951 geometries using MOLPRO. The calculations were fitted by a rotating Morse spline method and independently by a generalized London-Eyring-Polanyi-Sato (LEPS) double-polynomial method. A higher accuracy calculation for 112 of these geometries was also performed for both {sup 3}A{prime} and {sup 3}A{double_prime} to obtain correction potential energy surfaces (PESs) used to raise the accuracy of the original surfaces to about 0.3 kcal/mol. The resulting fitted PESs are presented and compared to each other and to a previous empirical LEPS surface.
