- Tropical tropopause layer (2009, background): “Current data of multidecadal temperature trends (hampered by uncertainties and biases in observations) suggest a slight cooling of the TTL (at 100 hPa, 0.15 to 0.35 K/decade for 1959–1997 and 0.6 to 0.8 K/decade for 1979–1997 [Lanzante et al., 2003]), with a transition from warming to cooling just b”
