This has been shown to be in excellent quantitative agreement with satellite measurements at the top - of - atmosphere and
with surface measurements.
And satellite and
surface measurements show that in recent decades, less heat at those specific wavelengths is escaping to space.
This degree of confidence is also confirmed by experimental observations from both satellites and
surface measurements which confirm the degree of enhanced greenhouse effect from rising greenhouse gases.
In addition to
surface measurements over the world's land and oceans, satellite microwave sounding units have been providing estimates of global lower atmospheric temperatures since 1979.
In the days that followed, using airborne and
surface measurements at and around the blowout site, Conley and colleagues quantified the gas release to the atmosphere.
«It hit me that we've been calculating chlorophyll profiles from
surface measurements for more than thirty years, but we don't know what the depth profiles of other biogeochemically - important materials look like,» said Barney Balch, a senior research scientist at Bigelow Laboratory and lead author on the paper.
But here is the real irony — does anyone else find it hilarious that # 1 person trying to defend flawed
surface measurement against satellite measurement is the head of the Goddard Institute for Space Studies at NASA?
Testing of the Paint Preparation Pad has demonstrated high standards of performance and more than
comparable surface measurement statistics against other similar products on the market.
With
surface measurements alone, it's hard to confirm the type - II Weyl fermions are there, says physicist Alexey Soluyanov of ETH Zurich.
«This combined use of satellite and near -
surface measurements gives us a new understanding of the crust beneath our feet, and will be of enormous value to science.»
Researchers created new code commands to compute the cloud droplet number concentration using existing surface measurements
Since satellite data seemed free of many of the errors that
affect surface measurements, these results were seized on by global warming «sceptics».
We compared the present - day simulations with near - global observations from the Measurements of Pollution in the Troposphere (MOPITT) instrument flown on NASA's Terra satellite and with
local surface measurements.
NCDC ocean
surface measurements yield a trend of 0.124 degrees C per decade from 1979 to 2006, while UAH MSU lower - tropospheric measurements over the ocean yield an almost identical 0.127 degrees per decade.
I agree with you that the last decade really doesn't tell you that much about the long term trends, given the size of the error bars, but it does allow for some interesting analysis of the difference between individual temperature records during that period (e.g. ENSO responses of satellites
vs. surface measurements, effects of different ways of treating arctic temperatures, etc.).
Roy Spencer has taken another cut at the data, and again the answer is about the same as what most thoughtful people have arrived at: Perhaps half (or more) of past warming in the surface temperature record is likely spurious due to siting biases of
surface measurement stations.
A compilation of
surface measurements of downward longwave radiation from 1973 to 2008 find an increasing trend of more longwave radiation returning to earth, attributed to increases in air temperature, humidity and atmospheric carbon dioxide (Wang 2009).
SOCOM combines the results from several groups that used two different databases containing millions of
ocean surface measurements to map out the distribution of surface ocean CO2.
