4 Radiosonde Datasets 1958-2005
• RATPAC (large-scale zonal time series, homogeneity adjusted)
• HadAT (gridded, homogeneity adjusted)
• Randel and Wu (RATPAC-based, with further homogeneity adjustments)
• FUB – gridded analyses, 0-90N, no adjustments, available only for 1964-2001
Comparison
• 5 levels (100, 70, 50, 30, and 100-50 hPa)• 16 zonal regions (0-20, 0-30, 0-90, 30-60,30-90,
60-90 for both hemispheres, plus 90S-90N, 20S-20N, and 30S-30N
• Seasonal anomaly time series, normalized to 1965-1985 base period
• Annual difference (from RATPAC) time series• Trends computed for individual time series and
difference series
Summary Points(none too surprising)
• better agreement in NH than SH• better agreement at lower altitudes than higher• generally less cooling in Randel and Wu than RATPAC
(although not in NH extratropics)• HadAT generally cools more than RATPAC, but there
are plenty of exceptions when HadAT cools less• FUB generally cools more than any of the other three• more uncertainty in trends above 100 mb than at 100 mb• annual anomaly differences among datasets can be ± 1
K globally and in NH, ± several K in tropics and SH
