However, I was not able to understand equation (1) in section 1.2 using unfamiliar concepts such as
absorption line spacing and line width.
Not exact matches
The
line broadenning takes some optical thickness from the
line centers and puts it into gaps between closely -
spaced lines, so that there can be significant
absorption over a contiuous band of wavelengths.
But in the transparent windows, the radiation field is «hotter» (being a combination of reflected SWR and emitted «hot» ground LWR), so in the
lines, it is «colder»: the
lines appear thus as
absorption lines from the
space, with a lower brightness temperature than the continuum.
EWF is a density over distance along a
line (in the absence of scattering, etc.) or
lines (when partial specular reflection occurs), or a density over volume (when scattering contributes to the CSD), where the sum over all
space = 1; it matches the distribution over
space of the
absorption of a unit amount of radiation incident at L from the opposite direction.
No emission /
absorption lines in co2 reach
space from the surface or even within the troposphere, only at or very near and above the tropopause.
Job creation, which has been rising steadily since 2003 when companies were shedding office jobs, and discipline among developers not to overbuild markets have led to a healthy balance between
space absorption and new units coming on
line.
