Summarising, it is very likely that the surface has warmed in the global average relative to the troposphere, and the troposphere has warmed relative to the stratosphere since 1979 (Figure 2.12a,b; Pielke et al., 1998a,b; Angell, 1999, 2000; Brown et al., 2000; Christy et al., 2000; Gaffen et al., 2000a; Hurrell et al., 2000; NRC, 2000; Stendel et al., 2000). However, the relative warming is spatially very variable and most significant in the tropics and sub-tropics. There is evidence that the troposphere warmed relative to the surface in the pre-satellite era (1958 to 1979, see Brown et al., 2000; Gaffen et al., 2000a), though confidence in this finding is lower. Uncertainties due to limited temporal sampling prevent confident extrapolation of these trends to other or longer time periods (Christy et al., 2000; Hurrell et al., 2000; NRC, 2000; Santer et al., 2000). Some physical explanations for changes in the vertical profile of global temperature trends are discussed in Chapter 12 but a full explanation of the lower-tropospheric lapse rate changes since 1958 requires further research.
