Key Equations

$$\Delta F = 5.35 \ln\left(\frac{C}{C_0}\right) \text{ W/m}^2$$
$$\Delta F_{\text{N}_2\text{O}} = 0.12 \left(\sqrt{N} - \sqrt{N_0}\right)$$
$$\Rightarrow T_s = 2^{1/4} \, T_e \approx 1.189 \, T_e \approx 303 \text{ K}$$
$$f_D(\nu) = \frac{1}{\gamma_D \sqrt{\pi}} \exp\left[-\left(\frac{\nu - \nu_0}{\gamma_D}\right)^2\right]$$

Equations are rendered with MathJax in the PDF with professional LaTeX typesetting.
