«Using more recent data and better analysis methods we have been able to re-examine the global weather balloon network, known as radiosondes, and have found clear indications of warming in the upper troposphere,» said lead author ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate System Science Chief Investigator Prof Steve Sherwood.

This atmospheric evidence comes from instruments in weather satellites, producing the only truly global data — and, independently, from thermometers in balloon - borne radiosondes.

Note that the RATPAC radiosonde (weather balloon) data are in close agreement with the higher tropospheric temperature estimates, as are the HadAT2 radiosonde data (Figure 3).

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.

John Christy, the scientist and interviewee on whose work this latter claim is based, seems to have forgotten that he had written in a US Climate Change Science Program report: «This significant discrepancy [between lower and upper atmosphere warming] no longer exists because errors in the satellite and radiosonde [weather balloon instrument] data have been identified and corrected.

Steve Sherwood, chief investigator for the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate System Science and lead author for the study, explained that he and his colleague Nidhi Nishant used improved methods of analysis and more recent data to reexamine radiosondes, or the global weather balloon network.
