| Temperature Measurement Zones |
In today's post we take a first look at the atmospheric temperatures in the scientific work of Lundstad et al.
Previously we looked at the pressures in that same work.
The graphic to the left was also presented as a way of quickly determining the general location where measurement gathering took place.
In today's version both layer and zone are specified, and the zone locations are marked by red rectangles around their latitude and longitude boundaries.
This gives us an idea of how sparse or to the contrary closely covered the measurements are.
Satellites do not have thermometer characteristics however they cover a much wider area than thermometers do, so the two together can give reasonable information (NASA; Evidence).
The next episode of this series will deal with the TEOS-10 SIA processing of this data.
But I digress.
The following graphs detail the annual average temperature measurements (note that "Layer" and "Zone" refer to the layers (0-17) and zone numbers within those layers shown on the graphic above.
