This is not surprising since the satellite and radiosonde (weather balloon) data are very reliable on the shorter time scales of a year or so, but the long-term trends in the data are very difficult to measure because of artifacts such as piecing together data from different satellites for the satellite record and changes in shielding of the temperature sensor for the radiosonde record.

Similarly, when a forecast model is run for the next 7 days, it is verified afterward often against radiosondes at the given locations.

However, it is not individual radiosondes, but usually a composite or collection of them to determine any vertical biases in the model analysis and forecast.

The only part of the data for which such amplification is not necessarily seen is for the multidecadal temperature trends, and I say "necessarily" because it depends on which satellite analysis one looks at or which radiosonde data analysis or re-analysis one looks at.

Much of the initial data ingested by weather models is from real-time surface weather observations and radiosondes—weather balloons.

The meteorologist explained how a radiosonde is used to collect data on temperature and humidity during weather balloon launches.

Each day, researchers send a radiosonde into the atmosphere to gather important information about weather conditions.

The radiosonde, attached to a helium balloon, transmitted data on atmospheric pressure and temperature for several hours.

Etymology
Radiosonde combines radio and sonde; radio is the familiar word for 'wireless signals' and sonde is a short European word meaning 'probe'. So a radiosonde is a small probe carried by a balloon that sends weather measurements by radio.
