The direct radiative effects of trace gases in the atmosphere are primarily due to their absorption in the infrared part of the spectrum. Most effective in this regard are gases with absorption in the parts of the spectrum where water vapour and CO2 are almost transparent (8-13 micrometers), the atmospheric window. If absorption bands of different gases overlap, the effects of a changing concentration on the radiative transfer are reduced. 2, record 1, English, - radiative%20effect
