The UAH satellite temperature dataset, developed at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, infers the temperature of various atmospheric layers from satellite measurements of the oxygen radiance in the microwave band, using Microwave Sounding Unit temperature measurements . It was the first global temperature datasets developed from satellite ...
Satellite temperature measurements are inferences of the temperature of the atmosphere at various altitudes as well as sea and land surface temperatures obtained from radiometric measurements by satellites. These measurements can be used to locate weather fronts, monitor the El Niño-Southern Oscillation, determine the strength of tropical ...
They addressed this problem by combining the surface temperature measurements with satellite data to fill in the coverage. Over the time period 1979-2016, combining the HadCRUT4 surface data with UAH satellite coverage, they show a global surface-warming trend of 0.188 °C/decade. History of satellite temperature data interpretation
Sherry (Upshaw) Christy, 2015. John Raymond Christy is a climate scientist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) whose chief interests are satellite remote sensing of global climate and global climate change. He is best known, jointly with Roy Spencer, for the first successful development of a satellite temperature record.
The global average and combined land and ocean surface temperature show a warming of 1.09 °C (range: 0.95 to 1.20 °C) from 1850–1900 to 2011–2020, based on multiple independently produced datasets. [30] : 5 The trend is faster since 1970s than in any other 50-year period over at least the last 2000 years.
Roy Warren Spencer (born December 20, 1955) [1] is an American meteorologist. [2] He is a principal research scientist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, and the U.S. Science Team leader for the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AMSR-E) on NASA's Aqua satellite. [3] [4] He has served as senior scientist for climate studies at ...
It would be great to display a graph or graphs of the satellite temperature data collected over time on this page. -- В²C ☎ 17:19, 8 October 2015 (UTC) [ reply ] "currently" [ edit ]
Remote Sensing Systems. Remote Sensing Systems ( RSS) is a private research company founded in 1974 by Frank Wentz. It processes microwave data from a variety of NASA satellites. Most of their research is supported by the Earth Science Enterprise program. The company is based in Santa Rosa, California .
