The temperature measurements were done by COBE. To my knowledge they have not been repeated. (And you should ignore Stephen Crothers and P.-M. Robitaille.)
It does not matter, because there is no CMB. It is a scientific fact that no so-called 'monopole signal' has been found beyond the influence of Earth. The monopole signal has been detected at ~900km at most, by the COBE satellite, which did not carry a microwave shield. No monopole signal has been found at L2 where WMAP and Planck are located. Without a monopole signal beyond Earth all talk of a CMB and its alleged anisotropies is just wishful thinking.

Matts Roos:- So now you're telling people what to do Matts. Why should anybody do what you tell them to do, old sport?
There is no CMB. No monopole signal has ever been detected beyond Earth, and that is a scientific fact. Without a monopole signal at L2 all talk of a CMB and its alleged anisotropies is wishful thinking, not science.
Gives us the monopole at L2 Matts!
COBE did not detect a signal from the Cosmos. It was in Earth orbit at an altitude of ~900km, and did not carry a microwave shield. Put a glass of water in a microwave oven and turn it on. Does the water absorb the microwaves? Yes! That's why it's called a 'microwave oven'. A good absorber is also a good emitter, at the same frequencies. Thus water emits microwaves. About 70% of Earth's surface is covered by water. All this water is not microwave silent. Submariners well know that microwaves are useless for radio communications under water, because water absorbs the signals.

Thanks for your answer Peter. I was referring to the DeltaT/T from the COBE data, about 18 micro Kelvin or 6 x10^-6 of the 2.7255 K CMB. I guess WMAP and PLANCK are not too concerned about that specific issue, but are rather concentrating on other cosmological data, such as the age of the universe, dark matter, the Hubble constant and so on. I was just curious as to why the DeltaT/T issue had been ignored.
Regards and thanks,
Terry
Peter Kaputsa:- Your remark is bereft of any scientific content. I suggest that you study the papers I have cited before you make any further comments.
Peter Kapusta:- You have spoken as a true champion of ignorance and stupidity.
Stephen Crothers continues to excel in insults, degrading the discussion in ResearchGate. Don't communicate with him!
Matts Ross:- I reiterate, why should anybody do what you tell them to do, old sport?
