Response: Examination of ‘global atmospheric temperature monitoring with satellite microwave measurements’ (3) cloud and rain contamination
Observations in channel 1 (Ch. 1, 50.3 GHz) and channel 2 (Ch. 2, 53.74 GHz) of the Microwave Sounding Unit (MSU) over the convective areas of tropical oceans are analysed to reveal the nature of extinction (c...

Examination of ‘global atmospheric temperature monitoring with satellite microwave measurements’: 2. Analysis of satellite data
Using Microwave Sounding Unit (MSU) channel 2 (Ch. 2, 53.74 GHz) data, Spencer and Christy (1992a) determined that the earth exhibits no temperature trend in the period 1979–90, while other authors find a temp...

Examination of ‘global atmospheric temperature monitoring with satellite microwave measurements’: 1) theoretical considerations
In recent studies (Spencer and Christy, 1990; and Spenceret al., 1990) it is suggested that observations at 53.74 GHz made by the Microwave Sounding Unit (MSU), flown on NOAA operational weather satellites, can y...
