ABSTRACT: The observed basic weather variables are the main
representative of climate trends and the atmosphere. The unresolved
meteorological scale in weather observation such as micro scale, can produce a
noticeable bias in amplitude, frequency, phase and climate trend of each
observed variable time series. The bias in climate trend due to a small scale
eddy can be as high as the amplitude of the eddy which could be greater than 1°C in a temperature trend. Such biased
measurements of the state of the atmosphere limit all climate related studies.
