Detailed label : greenhouse effect in atmospheric chemistry;
IUPAC definition : Heating effect produced by certain gases (e.g. CO sub 2 /sub , O sub 3 /sub , etc.),
which by virtue of their characteristic infrared absorption, lower the earth to space
transmission of long wavelength radiation but allow transmission of shorter wavelength
radiation inward from the sun to the earth.;
