To measure the thermal winds, they studied data on the motion of weather balloons at different altitudes in the atmosphere.

Data often cited by the anti forces generally turn out to be either statistical extrapolation, or they are using data that has been proven wrong (one weather monitoring station on a balloon was found to be too high in the atmosphere, giving cooler results then expected, same with a monitoring station in the ocean that was too deData often cited by the anti forces generally turn out to be either statistical extrapolation, or they are using data that has been proven wrong (one weather monitoring station on a balloon was found to be too high in the atmosphere, giving cooler results then expected, same with a monitoring station in the ocean that was too dedata that has been proven wrong (one weather monitoring station on a balloon was found to be too high in the atmosphere, giving cooler results then expected, same with a monitoring station in the ocean that was too deep).
