Even the seemingly small level of disagreement between surface and deep layer temperature trends can not be reproduced by current GCMís, which slave globally-averaged deep tropospheric temperatures to any surface temperature fluctuations ... However, we know that convective air currents and the air-conditioning effects of water cause the atmospheric temperature profile to change by a much larger amount, about 80 deg. C, between the surface and 10 km altitude when compared to a hypothetical Earth without these processes ... Thus, it is critical to validate whether the parameterizations of moist convective processes in GCMís are realistic enough to capture the ways in which the tropospheric temperature profile fluctuates naturally in response to this transport of heat from the surface to the upper troposphere. 1, record 2, English, - tropospheric%20temperature%20profile

Très importants aussi vis-à-vis du profil de température troposphérique sont les changements de phase de la vapeur d’eau contenue dans l'atmosphère : ainsi la formation de gouttelettes d’eau et de cristaux de glace comportent, pour l'atmosphère, des sources locales non négligeables de chaleur. 1, record 2, French, - profil%20de%20temp%C3%A9rature%20troposph%C3%A9rique

L'ATSR comprend également un radiomètre micro-onde, ATSR/M, développé sous la responsabilité du CNES et destiné à la mesure du contenu intégré en vapeur d’eau. Les mesures de cet instrument permettent de corriger les mesures topographiques effectuées par l'altimètre et d’étudier la variabilité des champs d’humidité troposphérique. 2, record 3, French, - radiom%C3%A8tre%20%C3%A0%20balayage%20dans%20le%20sens%20de%20la%20trace%20au%20sol
