processed atmospheric measurements accessible in a form that enables a number of different groups to replicate and experiment with the processing of the more widely disseminated data sets such as the MSU tropospheric temperature record.

The
measurements are the first such coordinated
atmospheric and oceanic

GEM does not adsorb on ice surfaces, as demonstrated by both field and laboratory
measurements (34, 35), and we showed that present chemical
processes in the shallow firn do not perturb the long - term record of past
atmospheric GEM (21).
We can not measure total radiative forcing, with or without temperature feedbacks, because radiative and non-radiative
atmospheric transfer
processes combined with seasonal, latitudinal, and altitudinal variabilities defeat all attempts at reliable
measurement.
