The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Microwave measurements have been obtained from the troposphere since 1979, when they were included within NOAA weather satellites, starting with TIROS-N.
- By comparison, the usable balloon record begins in 1958 but has less geographic coverage and is less uniform.
- Microwave brightness measurements do not directly measure temperature.
Why it is Common

The Microwave Sounding Unit temperature measurements article was read about 1,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 74 and blocks with 71: each hit it takes is cut by 28 %.
