- Abstract
The article presents a study regarding the inconsistency of modeled and observed trends in the temperature of the tropical troposphere, which is reported by the U.S. Climate Change Science Program (CCSP). According to the author, warming of tropical surface are suggested by datasets from radiosonde and satellite while climate models reflects that surface warming results from increase in greenhouse gases (GHGs). In the study, the author reviews and explains the modeled and observed data and disagrees with the inconsistency of the simulated temperature trend.
