Recent developments in satellite surface temperatures are slightly cooler and corrected satellite and radiosonde measurements of the tropical troposphere are slightly warmer.

By comparison, the usable balloon ( radiosonde ) record begins in 1958 but has less geographic coverage and is less uniform.

Wireless telemetry made early appearances in the radiosonde, developed concurrently in 1930 by Robert Bureau in France and Pavel Molchanov in Russia.

16.
Each team of undertook 12 month expeditions to the island to undertake three hourly weather reports and twice daily radiosonde flights using hydrogen filled balloons.
17.
The information is supplied by radiosonde observations, principally . " Constant-pressure " charts are routinely constructed at standard air pressures.
18.
During the 1930s the expansion of economically important government weather forecasting services and their increasing need for data motivated many nations to begin regular radiosonde observation programs
19.
This chapter does not mention recent work on biases in the radiosonde network [ 1 ] and errors in the satellite temperature record [ 2 ].
20.
She was instrumental in the development of the rocketsonde, which launched a data-collecting package, called a radiosonde, into the upper atmosphere.
