- Interannual changes of stratospheric water vapor and correlations with tropical tropopause temperatures (2004, background): “The MSU-4 time series extends from late 1978 to 2002, based on combining results from many operational datasets (e.g., Christy et al. 2000 ).”
- An update of observed stratospheric temperature trends (2009, unknown): “The processing of the MSU4 data is clearly outlined in numerous papers in the peer-reviewed literature [e.g., Christy et al. , 2000, 2003; Mears and Wentz, submitted manuscript, 2008].”
- Construction of the Remote Sensing Systems V3.2 Atmospheric Temperature Records from the MSU and AMSU Microwave Sounders (2009, background): “…issues and time-varying biases, several groups, including our own, have merged the data from these nine instruments together into a single climate quality data record (Christy et al. 2000, 2003; Grody et al. 2004; Mears et al. 2003; Prabhakara et al. 2000; Vinnikov et al. 2005; Zou et al. 2006).”
- Global temperature evolution 1979–2010 (2011, methodology): “…from Remote Sensing Systems (Mears and Wentz 2008), lower-troposphere data version 3.3,6 and UAH: that from the University of Alabama at Huntsville (Christy et al 2000), lower-troposphere data version 5.3.7 We characterize the ENSO by the multivariate el Niño index, or MEI (Wolter and Timlin…”
- Climate forcings in Goddard Institute for Space Studies SI2000 simulations (2002, methodology): “The quantitative agreement with MSU (microwave sounding unit) observations [ Christy et al. , 2000] is better than that found by F-C or Bengtsson et al. [1999].”
- A review on Hilbert‐Huang transform: Method and its applications to geophysical studies (2008, background): “…mixing and its consequences is illustrated in Figure 7, in which the decomposition of the University of Alabama at Huntsville (UAH) T2, an alternative analysis of the same channel 2 tropospheric temperature of the microwave sounding unit [Christy et al., 2000], as well as the RSS T2, is presented.”
- Reconciling observations of global temperature change (2002, methodology): “…and global mean atmospheric temperature from 1979 to the present may be due to the fact that the atmosphere underwent a jump in temperature in 1976 (before the satellite temperature series began), and that the surface response was delayed for about a decade due to the ocean heat capacity.”
- The Transition to Strong Convection (2009, background): “Furthermore, microwave retrievals of tropospheric temperature tend to have an influence function through a deep layer (Christy et al. 2000) and these are assimilated in reanalysis data sets.”
- Temporal Homogenization of Monthly Radiosonde Temperature Data. Part II: Trends, Sensitivities, and MSU Comparison. (2003, methodology): “On the other hand, the large drop in MSU temperature ;1985 corresponds to a time of minimal overlap during satellite transitions (Christy et al. 2000).”
- Comparing radiosonde and COSMIC atmospheric profile data to quantify differences among radiosonde types and the effects of imperfect collocation on comparison statistics (2010, background): “…based on " weather‐scale " atmospheric variability and may not be directly applicable to the use of satellite measurements for detecting long‐term climate change, for which issues of intersatellite calibration, orbital decay and diurnal drift are important [Christy et al., 2000; Zou et al., 2006].”
