RSS rev 4
G updated the RSS. I think that corresponds to http://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/abs/10.1175/JCLI-D-16-0768.1, which is worth mentioning of itself (see-also https://www.carbonbrief.org/major-correction-to-satellite-data-shows-140-faster-warming-since-1998).

 * That edit changes .135 to .184. But the journal ref provided above says .134 increased to .174. " The changes result in global-scale warming (global trend (70S-80N, 1979-2016) = 0.174 C/decade), ~30% larger than our previous version of the dataset (global trend, (70S-80N, 1979-2016) = 0.134C/decade)" Perhaps the .135 and .184 figures include Jan 2017? Do we have a ref for the .184 figure? If not, should it be changed to .174 per journal ref or is that for a different period or coverage or something? https://web.archive.org/web/20170120235652/http://www.remss.com/measurements/upper-air-temperature shows .135 to Dec 16 and https://web.archive.org/web/20170302132317/http://www.remss.com/measurements/upper-air-temperature also shows .135 for period to Feb 17 so .01 diff in trend for one month between that 2 month gap seems unlikely. crandles (talk) 15:05, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
 * http://images.remss.com/msu/msu_time_series.html shows .184 but this may include up to May 2017 but is 70S to 82.5N as opposed to journal article referring to 70S to 80N. crandles (talk) 15:27, 30 June 2017 (UTC)

Merge MSU temperature measurements into this article
This article seems to cover nearly identical material as the MSU temperature measurements article. I propose we should merge that article into this one. Skepticalgiraffe (talk) 15:25, 8 January 2020 (UTC)


 * On more consideration, I'm withdrawing the merge proposal. See next section.

Withdrawing merge proposal
Thinking it over, my thought is now that we should cut the MSU material here to just an introductory overview, and put all of the details and discussion of trends into the MSU temperature measurements article. This will serve the purpose of the merge (not having the same material duplicated across multiple articles), and also will mean that this article is not unbalanced with too much material on the MSU, and comparatively little on other satellite temperature measurements.Skepticalgiraffe (talk) 21:47, 9 January 2020 (UTC) / revised 11 Jan 2020

I have now moved a large part of the discussion to the MSU article. Right now no text has been deleted only moved. Next I am going to go to the MSU article and start cutting the duplications (which are many). Skepticalgiraffe (talk) 14:35, 11 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Sounds reasonable! Jlevi (talk) 14:23, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
