1 (Mt/Ag/EnSc/EnSt 404/504 - Global Change) Observed Surface & Atmosphere (from IPCC WG-I, Chapter 3) Observed Changes in Surface and Atmosphere Climate Primary Source: IPCC WG-I Chapter 3 - Observations: Surface and Atmospheric Climate Change

2 (Mt/Ag/EnSc/EnSt 404/504 - Global Change) Observed Surface & Atmosphere (from IPCC WG-I, Chapter 3) Substantial Growth in Information on Observed Climate 1.Third Assessment Report (TAR) - 1 Chapter 2. Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) - 3 Chapters (Recall growth in peer- reviewed literature)

3 (Mt/Ag/EnSc/EnSt 404/504 - Global Change) Observed Surface & Atmosphere (from IPCC WG-I, Chapter 3) Improvements 1.Recovery of old observations 2.Improved understanding of sources of error (e.g., ocean temperatures) (e.g., ocean temperatures) 3.Availability and ingestion of satellite observations since 1979 (esp. for Southern Hemisphere)
