Panel on Reconciling Temperature Observations, National Research Council Reconciling Observations of Global Temperature Change. (... issued by a panel of the National Research Council [of the National Academies of the United States], this report attempts to assess and explain why the significant rise in global temperatures measured at the surface of the earth over the past 20 years has not been found with temperature measurements taken by satellites or balloons in the lower to mid-troposphere [the layer of the earth's atmosphere extending from the surface up to about 8 kilometers above the surface]. The panel concludes that the warming trend in global-mean surface temperature observations during the past 20 years is undoubtedly real and is substantially greater than the average rate of warming during the twentieth century. The disparity between surface and upper air trends in no way invalidates the conclusion that surface temperature has been rising--from the text of the book) Publisher: National Academy Press, 2000 [104 pages]. **The complete text of this book is currently available through the Web site of National Academy Press -- look for the Open Book icon** How to find the above journals, magazines, and other publications?
