At face value, the satellite data is supported by weather balloon data, covers a much larger area of the globe than the surface - based data, and, as you pointed out, is free from the urban heat island effect and other potential flaws of surface measurements.

Since satellite data seemed free of many of the errors that affect surface measurements, these results were seized on by global warming «sceptics».

To conduct the research, a team of scientists led by John Fasullo of the US National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, combined data from three sources: NASA's GRACE satellites, which make detailed measurements of Earth's gravitational field, enabling scientists to monitor changes in the mass of continents; the Argo global array of 3,000 free - drifting floats, which measure the temperature and salinity of the upper layers of the oceans; and satellite - based altimeters that are continuously calibrated against a network of tide gauges.

Roy Spencer developed his own surface temperature index for the USA 48, by using only the stations which have a homogenous method of taking data over time (four measurements per day) and which are hence completely free of any TOBS biases.

In no way is this comparable to the manufacture of data where no measurements have been taken or the substitution of one measured variable (daily mean land air temperature) with another (instantaneous SST observations) whose sampling method varies, is exceedingly uneven geographically, and no credible, alias - free time - series can be obtained.

my percentages using data from Evans and Puckrin: Figure 1 shows the strong CO2 peak (Winter measurement) as noted by SoD in earlier comments, and in corresponding Table 2, we see that CO2 accounts for about 80 % of the back radiation on a water free basis.
