Global Warming Seen from Satellites
Qiang Fu, University of Washington
Climate researchers for years have been struggling with an apparent discrepancy in the data on global warming: Temperatures in the troposphere had apparently been rising far slower than models predicted, given how fast the Earth's surface is heating. This discrepancy has been central to the arguments of skeptics about global warming. In this talk I will present recent debates and progress to solve this paradox in climate research. The implications of tropospheric temperature trends and their spatial patterns to the climate feedback and changes in the atmospheric circulations will also be discussed.
