Abstract:Based on the one dimensional line by line radiation transfer model (LBLRTM) and the concentration model of CO2,the greenhouse effect saturation of CO2 was analyzed and the coming surface temperature rise was predicted.The results show that so far as we know,the continuous emission of CO2 has just brought about the absorption saturation at the center of the 680 cm-1 strong absorption band,while the wing areas of the band and the weak absorption bands such as 1 000 cm-1,1 350 cm-1and 1 900 cm-1are far from saturation,therefore,CO2 still has a strong greenhouse effect during quite a long time in the future.If the emission rate of CO2 basically remains at the current level 2.2 (mL·m-3)/a,its atmospheric concentration would increase continuously,which would result in a surface temperature rise of 2 K by 2056.
