concentration (leptin AUC).

A band with optical thickess per unit gas decaying exponentially away from a
peak: Assuming the
peak is saturated at some level within the atmopshere and there are no other absorbers in the same band
of wavelengths above that level, increasing the

of the layer above (not necessarily all
of the layer, but the instantaneous forcing on the layer as a whole will be negative).

concentrations at well below below 350 p.p.m., and that to achieve this the agreement at COP15 U.N.F.C.C.C. should include a goal
