It's easy enough to establish measurement stations on the surface to

on PIREPs, or expendable/recoverable probes and balloons, or
satellites, or what?


This is one of your poorest troll attempts, Anthony, you are a
disappointment. Please try to do better.


Do you folks that continue to respond to Mxsmanic, Bertie, Maxwell, and the
other trolls realize that if you had simply ignored them this would still be
a useful forum?
