| Description: |
This work challenges a common perception on the negligible role of O2 and N2 as natural greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere compared to species like CH4 or N2O. Here researchers quantify the effect of collision-induced absorption by molecular oxygen (O2) and nitrogen (N2) on the outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) of the Earth's atmosphere.
