Analysis and numerical simulation of temperature measurements made on earth and from space.

The sum of all currently known facts confirms the existence of a global warming process. The development models of this process are statistical in nature and often do not take into account the specifics of local conditions. This fact confirms our analysis of measurements of the average annual surface air temperature during the period 1980-2019 in the city of Krasnodar (Russia). We used data from ground based (World Data Center) and space based (POWER project) measurements. A comparison of the data showed that the discrepancies in ground and space based measurements of surface air temperatures until 1990 do not exceed the data error ( °C). After 1990, the most significant short-term discrepancies were observed in 2014 (-1.12°С) and 2016 (1.33°С). An analysis of the forecast model of the Earth's surface air average annual temperature for 1918-2020 indicates a gradual decrease in the average annual temperature even in the presence of short-term impulses of its increase. The rate of decrease in the average annual temperature from ground based observations is slightly higher than from space based observations, which is probably due to a more complete consideration of local conditions in ground based observations.
