Episode notes
Greater Warming at Night
- Warming occurs more at night than during the day.
- This is consistent with greenhouse gas emissions, not solar irradiance.
Cooling Stratosphere
- The stratosphere is cooling, while the troposphere is warming.
- This is another indicator of warming from greenhouse gases.
Rising Tropopause
- The tropopause, the boundary between troposphere and stratosphere, is rising.
- This is due to the combined warming troposphere and cooling stratosphere.
