Atmospheric Observation under Sampling Problem: The Impact of Unresolved Micro-Scale Boundary Layer Eddies on Climate Trends ()
ABSTRACT
The observed basic weather variables are the main
representative of climate trends and the atmosphere. The unresolved
meteorological scale in weather observation such as micro scale, can produce a
noticeable bias in amplitude, frequency, phase and climate trend of each
observed variable time series. The bias in climate trend due to a small scale
eddy can be as high as the amplitude of the eddy which could be greater than 1°C in a temperature trend. Such biased
measurements of the state of the atmosphere limit all climate related studies.
