“Even more hilarious is that you are now claiming 500hpa is designated as Upper troposphere after your failed debacle attempt of stating that RSS is wrong with their TLS data? You claim on average that the lower stratosphere is HIGHER!”
500 mbar (the approximate peak of warming in the Southern Hemisphere, 30-90 degrees) is about 5.5 km altitude. Tell me, is that above or below the middle of the troposphere in that region? (Spoiler: it’s well above).
300 mbar (the approximate peak of warming in the tropics, -30-30 degrees) is about 9.2 km altitude. Tell me, is that above or below the middle of the troposphere in that region? (Spoiler: it’s well above).
