MSU is out of fashion at the moment, but I found this interesting caveat from S+C:
"Note that NOAA-15 is drifting backward into a warmer part of the diurnal cycle which will induce a spurious warming in the values for the last couple of years in LT and MT (see 12 July 2007). Information from Carl Mears indicates the spurious warming in our LT and MT global anomalies will be about +0.08 and +0.04 respectively by mid 2007 (for the anomalies). Because we have not solved all of the peculiarities with NOAA-15 (especially channel 6) our intent to generate a multi-channel AMSU replacement for old MSU LT and MT is still on hold. Be advised that the LT and MT products are a little too warm in the past couple of years, but less than 0.1K." Isn't it weird that S+C have to rely on RSS to get their data "right"?
