Summary

Abstract: Section 1. General Description

Spencer and Christy (1990) demonstrated that accurate estimates of
global atmospheric temperatures could be derived from the Microwave
Sounding Units flown on NOAA's TIROS-N series of satellites. The
MSU's have been continuously operating for more than 14 years
collecting measurements of the thermal emission of radiation by
...
