Abstract: In the study or ozone trends, the importance of adequate sampling of large-scale space and time variability is well recognized. However, sampling errors also result from existence of time and space variability on scales ...

Abstract: Assessing the significance of apparent total ozone trends is equivalent to assessing the standard error of the means. Standard errors of time (area) averages depend on the temporal (spatial) variability and correlation of ...

Abstract: Atmospheric layer thicknesses derived from Nimbus 5 (Nimbus E) Microwave Spectrometer (NEMS) are compared with radiosonde-derived thicknesses for selected short periods, and an average 45 m rms discrepancy is found for the ...
