In conclusion, the research on
radiosonde measurement problems looks promising but it is only a small part of a larger problem of poor measurements and poor models.
Not exact matches
They have gone through a number of types of
radiosondes and the satellite data would indicate the
measurement change with the new device since the new
radiosondes wouldn't match the satellite data and the old
radiosondes would This is the same
problem — mandatory objective environmental test standards would give historic continuity.
The issue of tropospheric temperature trends is very difficult and has received a great deal of attention by researchers and also assessment reports; the
problems are much worse for humidity and few people have even attempted to do anything with tropospheric humidity trends owing to inaccuracies in the
radiosonde humidity
measurements and substantial uncertainties in the satellite retrievals.
In my limited understanding, the fundamental
problem arises from the fact that old
radiosonde measurements show that the relative humidity of the upper troposphere has dropped as the earth has warmed.
