Comparative analyses of ground based and satellite temperature measurements on the territory of Serbia

Abstract

In this paper the air temperature changes on the territory of Serbia were investigated, on the basis of data from ground-based and satellite measurements, for the period 1979-2006. The trend analysis has shown that there is no amplification of trend of air temperature increase with altitude. The conclusion imposes itself that the air temperature increase in the researched area as well as on the Earth can not be only explained by models which presume domination of anthropogenic greenhouse effect.
