Sample comparison between the [C I] ﹩{{}^{3}{\rm{P}}}_{2}\to {}^{3}{{\rm{P}}}_{1}/{{}^{3}{\rm{P}}}_{1}\to {}^{3}{{\rm{P}}}_{0}﹩ line intensity ratio and the peak intensity of the [C I] ﹩{{}^{3}{\rm{P}}}_{1}\to {}^{3}{{\rm{P}}}_{0}﹩ line with the grid of RADEX models. The comparison is shown at the kinetic temperature at which the minimum value of ﹩{\chi }^{2}﹩ is found.
