Let be the tropopause optical depth and linearize with positive derivative . In the troposphere , so the requested schematic is
It is constant in the isothermal stratosphere and rises linearly with below it. At unchanged temperatures and a multiplicative abundance change , optical depth at each height changes to , hence . Doubling moves the tropopause kink to and gives colder emission temperatures at a fixed optical depth; halving does the opposite.
