Otherwise, I would say drop them a note.

But never mind, Eli told a nice story about why CO2 does not get saturated.<BR/><BR/>Now, can you do another story that shows why CO2 in the upper atmosphere is relatively more important for the greenhouse effect, as the radiation balance model suggests?Blairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15693072222398770607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-64244684802373863842007-07-05T06:39:00.000-04:002007-07-05T06:39:00.000-04:00Glad you're enjoying the spectracalc tools Eli!

I was able to adjust the left and the right and zoom in on the Q-branch just as I wanted to when I first saw your plots. And that is without a subscription! I will be playing around with it more in the days to come.<BR/><BR/>Thanx again!Timothy Chasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16400529485899488733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-20638152016621753792007-07-05T01:54:00.000-04:002007-07-05T01:54:00.000-04:00Eli,That is gorgeous stuff.

Incidently, I had run across the SpectraCalc before - inadvertently, a few weeks back. I suppose I should have mentioned it, but I thought everyone would have already known.<BR/><BR/>I might do some poking around - I would prefer something that would give me a little more flexibility. For example, I might like a zoom. But as is, it looks quite useful. And that last CO2 curve is downright elegant.Timothy Chasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16400529485899488733noreply@blogger.com
