satellite temperature sounding
1Satellite temperature measurements — have been obtained from the troposphere since 1978. By comparison, the usable balloon (radiosonde) record begins in 1958.Satellites do not measure temperature as such. They measure radiances in various wavelength bands, which must then be… …
