This is a good read, and they'll be able to properly measure convection. But they won't. A year or two ago, these guys sent a balloon to test some of these instruments, and they aimed up, instead of down. That was to avoid some obvious things.
This instrument will also be 'sheltered' from the nasty physics world. They aren't measuring any physics, they are just going with the convectional 'patterns'.
And so, we will continue on, always being told it is warmer, while it is colder. I am proud of these guys, for making lots of money doing this.
I'm sure that we now have the record for the steepest, longest dive in the tropical record. Will it continue right through? I still think we have a satellite calibration drift, because we haven't back to first principles in a long time. This needs a physics audit!
