I cannot read your ¡Ö symbols. If one of them is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant, please write "sigma" for that term.
Did you omit some symbols when you wrote ¡Ö 150 W m-2 ? Shouldn't there be an = sign somewhere?
The current magnitude of the greenhouse effect is measured by the difference between the emission from the surface and the emission from the top of the atmosphere, G=¦ÒTs^4 −¦ÒTe^4 ¡Ö 150 W m-2. What would be the required magnitude of the greenhouse effect to maintain the surface temperature at 288K if the solar constatnt were reduced by 30%? By what distance would the effective emission level of the atmosphere need to rise if the lapse rate is approximately 6 Km -1?
