TL;DR: In this article, the authors provided formulae for estimating the number of years necessary to detect trends, along with the estimates of the impact of interventions on trend detection, and the uncertainty associated with these estimates is also explored.

TL;DR: New evidence is presented that the top-of-atmosphere (TOA) tropical radiative energy budget is much more dynamic and variable than previously thought and the results indicate that the radiation budget changes are caused by changes in tropical mean cloudiness.

TL;DR: The 1992 global average total ozone, measured by the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) on the Nimbus-7 satellite, was 2 to 3 percent lower than any earlier year observed by TOMS.

TL;DR: In this article, an updated analysis of observed stratospheric temperature variability and trends is presented on the basis of satellite, radiosonde, and lidar observations, with some differences in detail among the different radiosonde and satellite data sets.

TL;DR: These algorithms are a prototype for the system that will produce the scientific data required for studying the role of clouds and radiation in the Earth's climate system, and are fundamental to the ability to understand, detect, and predict global climate change.
