Sentences with phrase «radiosonde measurements»

"Radiosonde measurements" refers to the process of gathering information about the atmosphere using a device called a radiosonde. The radiosonde measures various factors like temperature, humidity, pressure, and wind speed as it is launched into the sky by a weather balloon. This data helps scientists understand and predict weather patterns more accurately. Full definition
A recent study of water vapor trends above North America based on radiosonde measurements from 1973 to 1993 finds increases in precipitable water over all regions except northern and eastern Canada, where it fell slightly.
For example, the satellite and radiosonde measurements indicate something like 1/3 as much, and in fact even this is only true after they have been corrected.
However, its very curious, oblate sun refraction method agrees with Raobcore calculated trends at the same location, which is for a warmer lower troposphere at virtually every year, but not with the actual radiosonde measurements varying a lot, which is strange...... This leads me to conclude that Raobcore resolution needs to be increased... But this depends on whether my interpretation of Raobcore is right, which is the most accurate, corrected perfect data available.
S&C also saw the benefits of correlating their results to radiosonde measurements as verification, and RSS doesn't.
Up until now, S&C were able to closely match radiosonde measurements.
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.
This important GUAN station has not provided radiosonde measurements for many years and the Met Service has informed GCOS that sufficient funding for supplies is not available.
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.
Weather balloon radiosonde measurements of atmospheric temperature at various altitudes begin to show an approximation of global coverage in the 1950s.
Climsat would be able to monitor most of the climate forcings and feedbacks not monitored by current and planned observation systems, but would need to be supplemented by solar monitoring from space, tropospheric aerosol and ozone profile monitoring from selected surface stations, and improved calibration of radiosonde measurements of tropospheric water vvapor profiles.
Using U.S. Weather Service data on precipitation, radiosonde measurements of CAPE and lightning - strike counts from the National Lightning Detection Network at the University of Albany, State University of New York (UAlbany), they concluded that 77 percent of the variations in lightning strikes could be predicted from knowing just these two parameters.
Surface temperature measurements derived from thermometers at land stations (housed in instrument shelters) and aboard ships (mostly engine intake temperatures) are more densely spaced than the radiosonde measurements.
«Given that the atmosphere inarguably shows no appreciable warming in the 25 - year history of satellite and radiosonde measurements (initiated in response to the cooling panic), to assert that runaway global warming is as real as President Bush's re-election is an absurd proposition.»
Dr. Angell's focus was on the radiosonde measurements of the atmospheric temperature above the Earth's surface but he also gave results for surface temperature.
Using U.S. Weather Service data on precipitation, radiosonde measurements of CAPE and lightning - strike counts from the National Lightning Detection Network at the University of Albany, State University of New York (UAlbany), they concluded that 77 percent of the variations in lightning strikes could be predicted from knowing just these two parameters.
[49] The climate models also overpredict the results of the radiosonde measurements.
