“…This imbalance in the spatial distribution of RS launching sites can be attributed to the high cost of RS launches (approximately USD 500 per launch) which is too expensive for developing countries, thus limiting the number of upper air sites worldwide (800) [20,61,73,76]. In addition, since each station launches RSs twice (i.e., at 00:00 and 12:00 UTC) per day for every day of the year, this standard practice has led to serious budget constraints, and some countries such as Russia, Mexico, and Brazil are cutting their RS programs from two ascents per day to one [77].…”

Upper air temperature measurements are critical for understanding weather patterns, boundary-layer processes, climate change, and the validation of space-based observations. However, there have been growing concerns over data discrepancies, the lack of homogeneity, biases, and discontinuities associated with historical climate data records obtained using these technologies. Consequently, this article reviews the progress of utilizing radiosondes and space-based instruments for obtaining upper air temperature records. A systematic review process was performed and focused on papers published between 2000 and 2023. A total of 74,899 publications were retrieved from the Google Scholar, Scopus, and Web of Science databases using a title/abstract/keyword search query. After rigorous screening processes using relevant keywords and the elimination of duplicates, only 599 papers were considered. The papers were subjected to thematic and bibliometric analysis to comprehensively outline the progress, gaps, challenges, and opportunities related to the utilization of radiosonde and space-based instruments for monitoring upper air temperature. The results show that in situ radiosonde measurements and satellite sensors have improved significantly over the past few decades. Recent advances in the bias, uncertainty, and homogeneity correction algorithms (e.g., machine learning approaches) for enhancing upper air temperature observations present great potential in improving numerical weather forecasting, atmospheric boundary studies, satellite data validation, and climate change research.
