Radiation Transfer Calculations and Assessment of Global Warming by CO₂

Table 1

RT-calculations for different CO₂ concentrations at clear sky ( = 395.78 W/m², = 289.15 K, water vapor at ground: 14615.3 ppm, CH₄: 1.8 ppm, and O₃ varying over the stratosphere with a maximum concentration of 7 ppm).
