Climate models predict that as the surface warms, so should the global troposphere. Globally, the troposphere (at the TLT altitude at which the MSU sounder measure) is predicted to warm about 1.2 times more than the surface; in the tropics, the troposphere should warm about 1.5 times more than the surface.[citation needed] However, in the 2005 CCSP report it was noted that the use of fingerprinting techniques on data yielded that "Volcanic and human-caused fingerprints were not consistently identifiable in observed patterns of lapse rate change." (Where "lapse rate" refers to the change in temperature with altitude). In particular, a possible inconsistency was noted in the tropics, the area in which tropospheric amplification should be most clearly seen. They stated:
