The CO2 molecule has a pressure and temperature independent mass absorption coefficient, k, with a value of 2.5 m2/kg at a wavenumber of 700 cm-1. Calculate and plot (using Excel or a graphing program of your choice) the nadir-viewing weighting function in units of km-1 for radiance observations at this wavenumber at altitudes between 0 and 70 km. Assume CO2 is uniformly mixed throughout the atmosphere with a mixing ratio of 0.05% and that the atmosphere has a constant scale height, H, of 10 km (i.e., an isothermal atmosphere) and a total surface density, rho0, of 1 kg/m3. Provide a table of weighting function values for altitudes of 0, 10, 20, 30, Â , 70 km.
