Sentences with phrase «radiosonde measurements as»

S&C also saw the benefits of correlating their results to radiosonde measurements as verification, and RSS doesn't.

Not exact matches

That's why climate scientists release radiosonde balloons, mount scientific expeditions, launch satellites into orbit, drill into the ice, deploy ocean buoys, as well as make increasingly accurate surface measurements.

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.

As you may recall, they had that discrepancy in radiosonde measurements of the lower troposphere for a decade, until someone finally copped to an algebra mistake in a data - processing procedure.

Used in conjunction with Earth - orbiting satellite - based passive temperature and moisture radiometric soundings, as well as active lidar wind measurements, profilers complement the data collected from radiosondes.

The black curve represents surface temperature, and the colored curves represent the temperature of the lower to mid-troposphere as inferred from MSU measurements (red) and radiosonde observations (green).

Surely these differences would be more significant if some showed cooling, other Global temperature measurements such as Radiosonde, SST's and the proxy atmospheric water vapor also indicate warming, so inconsistancies between the indexs surel are more a technical issue.

Temperatures aloft can be measured in a number of ways, two of which are useful for climate monitoring: by radiosondes (balloon - borne instrument packages, including thermometers, released daily or twice daily at a network of observing stations throughout the world), and by satellite measurements of microwave radiation emitted by oxygen gas in the lower to mid-troposphere, taken with an instrument known as the Microwave Sounding Unit (MSU).5 The balloon measurements are taken at the same Greenwich mean times each day, whereas the times of day of the satellite measurements for a given location drift slowly with changes in the satellite orbits.

Mears and others said that the satellite measurements should not be taken seriously because they only infer the temperature from measurements of radio emissions by Oxygen molecules - AND - that these final numbers never match actual temperature measurements made over land and water (ground stations as well as radiosonde).

Radiosonde humidity measurements are notoriously unreliable and are usually dismissed out - of - hand as being unsuitable for detecting trends of water vapor in the upper troposphere.

To answer this question I looked at more than just the traditional Hadley, NASA and NOAA datasets, but also the measurements of the lower troposphere processed by Remote Sensing Systems (RSS) and the University of Alabama - Huntsville (UAH) as well as the 5 major reanalysis datasets which incorporate station data, aircraft data, satellite data, radiosonde data and meteorological weather modeling.

Using only the wind data (radiosondes and commercia jet measurements), the short term large scale forecast error over the US was just as small as with all additional sources of data combined.

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.
