... For longer fetches it becomes signals produced over a country by its emissions, then increasingly unlikely that all of the emissions remain compare the result to technical capabilities. The average confined to the boundary layer, and the mole fraction emissions are defined as the total national emissions change is then overestimated for those cases.
