Temperature changes in Serbia and worldwide according to satellite data

Abstract

In this paper the air temperature changes have been investigated on the base of satellite measurement, in the period from 1979 until 2006. The analysis has shown that there is no temperature amplification with altitude. Data for Serbia have shown negative trend of temperature in the last 20 years of the investigated period. Although it is not statistically significant, the sign is not in accordance with the increasing CO2 concentration. This may mean that the sign of satellite temperature doesn't support hypothesis about domination of anthropogenic greenhouse effects. .

U radu je analizirana promena temperature vazduha u Srbiji i svetu, na osnovu podataka satelitskih osmatranja, u periodu od 1979. do 2006. godine. Analiza trenda je pokazala da nema amplifikacije trenda porasta temperature sa visinom. Analiza za Srbiju pokazala je u poslednjih 20 godina u posmatranom periodu od 1987. do 2006. godine negativan, trend temperature vazduha. Iako statistički nesignifikantan, znak trenda nije saglasan sa rastućom koncentracijom antropogenog SO2. To bi značilo da znak promena satelitskih temperatura vazduha u posmatranom periodu nije u skladu sa očekivanim, u uslovima dominacije antropogenog efekta staklene bašte.
