I'm pretty sure you need a full bore radiative / convective model with a non-gray atmosphere, at least
a band radiative model.

Geoengineering activities are mimicked in the
models by modifying the volcanic aerosol
radiative inputs, applied as variations in stratospheric optical depth over four zonal
bands bounded by the equator, 30degreesN and 30degreesS.
Vis.: www.garfield.library.upenn.edu/classics1981/A1981LQ21800001.pdf Even more to the point, he goes on to state that [quote] «The regions of validity of the linear, square root, and nonoverlapping approximations were considered in this article...» [endquote] and notes that the summary of the [quote] «various
models and approximations for
band absorption» [endquote] given in that article had apparently been useful in many later studies requiring [quote] «mathematical calculation» [endquote] of the
radiative exchange by infrared
bands.
It's also the case that the results for the
radiative transfer equations will have a certain amount of error using «
band models» compared with the «line by line» (LBL) codes for all trace gases.
The best of the
radiative transfer
band models used in climate
models (e.g. RRTM, GISS) should also be doing this correctly.
I managed to retrieve a publication (Myhre & al., 1998: New estimates of
radiative forcing due to well mixed greenhouse gases) where the well known factor used to compute the CO2 flux density out of its concentration's logarithm (5.35) was found by using line - by - line and narrow -
band models on the base of data stored in the HITRAN database.
In the thread on Confidence in
Radiative Transfer Models, we argued that line - by - line radiative transfer codes and the best band models can accurately simulate clear sky (no clouds, aerosols) infrared radiation fluxes at the surface provided that the vertical profiles of atmospheric temperature and trace gas concentrations are specified ac
