abstract= {The Radiosonde Atmospheric Temperature Products for Assessing Climate (RATPAC) are a collection of radiosonde-based temperature anomaly time series for 1958–present. These products address the temporal inhomogeneities created by changes to instruments and observing practices, and reduce them as much as possible. RATPAC time series were developed in the early 2000s, and are based on data from 85 weather balloon stations distributed around global land areas. Data are available on 13 atmospheric pressure levels and for three atmospheric layers between the Earth's surface and lower stratosphere. This product is recommended for assessing long-term changes in tropospheric and lower stratospheric temperatures on large spatial scales. For other uses, please refer to the Integrated Global Radiosonde Archive (IGRA).},
