I do them myself two ways, one while using the sun as a fixed sphere of reference, the other by
taking all of upper air
radiosonde data, condensating them to one readable number in degrees Kelvin.
The
radiosonde data seems to
take a minigun to the hot spot idea.
Because the satellite
data measure an average temperature through a depth of several kilometres in the atmosphere, they would be expected to compare better with upper - air measurements
taken using weather balloons and
radiosondes than they would with measurements at the surface.
As we discussed in our paper, if one
takes out the «no
radiosonde data» squares from the output of the NCEP model, the averages of the remaining squares (about 2 % of the total) tell much the same story as when one uses all of them.
