However, because of a lack of spectrally resolved measurements, radiation schemes in climate models suffer from a lack of constraint across this spectral range. Exploiting a method developed to estimate upwelling far-infrared radiation from mid-infrared (MIR: <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" id="M4" display="inline" overflow="scroll" dspmath="mathml"><mrow><mn mathvariant="normal">667</mn><mspace width="0.125em" linebreak="nobreak"/><mrow class="unit"><msup><mi mathvariant="normal">cm</mi><mrow><mo>-</mo><mn mathvariant="normal">1</mn></mrow></msup></mrow><mo><</mo><mi mathvariant="italic">ν</mi><mo><</mo><mn mathvariant="normal">1400</mn></mrow></math> <svg:svg xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="101pt" height="13pt" class="svg-formula" dspmath="mathimg" md5hash="ffea5bebe86a56cd11629887c3b6bb87"><svg:image ... |
