These satellites measure the temperature of the lower troposphere and
capture average temperature changes around 5 km above the surface.
Not exact matches
I would suggest comparing peak to peak
average temperature captures during weighted El - Nino events (during the time they occur, if they can be compared equally this would be a telling graph), instead of considering year to year records as a means of reducing ENSO effects on the
temperature record, ENSO being largely a heat exchange between air and sea causing great
changes in cloud distribution world wide.
Probability distributions for
average future
changes in surface
temperature and precipitation, for instance, may be within reach, because the main processes expected to drive such
changes are
captured in the current generation of climate models.
