The Effect of Atmospheric CO2 Variations on Satellite-Sounded Temperatures.

Abstract

An analysis was made of the Satellite Temperature Sounding Technique to determine the extent of temperature errors arising from possible atmospheric CO2 variations. These possible errors are compared to probable ozone-caused errors and to errors resulting from the radiometer uncertainties.
