Clear-sky TB observed time series
NOTES:
Solid curves indicate Afternoon satellites, Dotted
curves are Morning satellites.
Channels 13-19 include daytime observations. Trends seen for afternoon
satellites are related to visible light contamination.
Line seen from 1995 to 1997 is connecting the time series for N11 data.
Satellite was turned off in 1995 and turned on 1997 due to problems with HIRS
N12 filter wheel.
Intersatellite biases appear larger for tropical observations because
annual cycle is small for this latitude band. The amplitude of the extratropical intersatellite bias is only slightly smaller than the tropical result.
