EXTENSIVE INTER-COMPARISONS WILL BE MADE TO OTHER PRODUCTS ESPECIALLY GPS-RO FOR TEMPERATURE AND VARIOUS RE-ANALYSIS PRODUCTS (ERA MERRA-2). OUR PRIMARY SCIENTIFIC GOAL WILL BE TO DETECT TRENDS IN MID- TO UPPER-TROPOSPHERIC WATER VAPOR (ESPECIALLY IN THE TROPICS) AND TEMPERATURE AND TO DETERMINE WHICH REANALYSIS PRODUCTS PRODUCE ANOMALIES CONSISTENT WITH OUR MEASUREMENTS. WE WILL ALSO USE GPS-RO TO EXAMINE HOW WELL WE CAN SEPARATE CO2 FROM TEMPERATURE TRENDS IN THE LOWER STRATOSPHERE.
