Relevant data-

note that TLT (lower troposphere) and TMT (middle troposphere) temps dropped in 2007.

remss.com

Lower stratosphere temperature has been dropping steadily since 1979. What might this mean?

Finally getting back to this troposphere/stratosphere thing. I was closer to correct in this post:

Message 24627594

There is significant leakage of troposphere material into the lower stratosphere at tropical latitudes facilitated by something called the Brewer-Dobson circulation. Trying again to figure out if my original interpretation based on previous attempts at reading some warming model literature is valid: mainly that increased water vapor input into the lower stratosphere would result in increased temperature. Any board insights appreciated.
