  4. Analysis Performed • Global Fitting • The global fitting uses one function to represent all data observations over the entire analysis grid. • The function that I calculated from a least-square fit analysis was: • Local Fitting • The local fitting uses one function at each analysis point to represent the nearest three data observations. • One of the functions that I calculated was: At z=839m:

  9. Conclusions • The local fitting did a better job at representing the non-linear change of temperature with height than the global fitting. • This can be seen mathematically from the cost-function values that were calculated for each function of both methods used.
