A simple example is the radiation code — instead of using a line - by - line code which would resolve the absorption at over 10,000 individual wavelengths, a GCM generally uses a broad - band approximation (with 30 to 50 bands) which gives very close to the same results as a full calculation.
As the radiation in that particular wavelength band is used up, the amount left for absorption by more of the gas is reduced.
The reason for this is as follows: Carbon dioxide has three absorption bands at wavelengths of 4.26, 7.52, and 14.99 micrometers (microns).13 The Earth's emission spectrum, treated as a black body (no atmospheric absorption), peaks at between 15 and 20 microns, and falls off rapidly with decreasing wavelength.
The CO2 doesn't alter climate by affecting thermal mass; it affects climate by retarding the efficiency of infrared radiation, and it has important IR absorption bands in places where water is ineffective.

I don't know how absorption probabilities go with pressure off the top of my head, but for sure they decrease with decreasing pressure; focusing on band structure while excluding the huge drop in number density with altitude is obfuscatory.
It also seems that even though the selective absorption of specific energy bands by different molecules IS the mechanism to add energy to the air, the energy absorbed by CO2 & especially Water Vapor is extremely rapidly dispersed by molecular collisions to ALL the components of the atmosphere, so that the N2 and O2 also heatup, and all the atmospheric components assume a uniform temperature (ie global warming).

Thus, there are no strong infrared absorption bands due to dipole transitions as in the case of the major greenhouse gases.
Well, if we add atmospheric absorption to wavelengths just outside the first band, there could be initial cooling of lower levels and warming of upper levels as explained in 1b, which will be enhanced if this is added at shorter wavelengths (reduced if addeed at longer wavelengths) relative to where the initial atmopsheric absorption was (see 438).
Thus, adding absorption to some new band will initially tend to warm the colder upper atmosphere and radiatively cool the lower atmosphere and warm the surface (The forcing at any level will be positive, so the surface + troposphere will warm; if some of the increased flux escaping in parts of the spectrum where the abover layers have sufficiently small optical thickness, some of the upper - level cooling will persist.
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.
The magnitude of the radiative forcing per doubling is equal to the effect of band widenning, which is (BW1 + BW2) * depth of valley or height of hill, plus some additional effect in the center of the band, which is on the order of 1/2 * (BW1 + BW2) * increase in height or depth of hill or valley; the central contribution could be more or less than that, but it will be less than double (because the shape of the absorption spectrum won't allow a square shape in the graph of the spectral flux).
The shape of the CO2 absorption band, in terms of CSD per unit CO2 concentration, can be approximated as having a peak at some frequency (designated ν0) or wavelength (about 15 microns for CO2) with, on each side of that peak, a halving of that optical thickness for each amount BW1 or BW2 that one moves away from the center (toward lower or higher frequency, respectively)
