Abstract

Considered are the possible reasons for variations of global surface air temperature as an indicator of the climate change. Analyzed are the variations of air temperature, concentration of greenhouse gases and water vapor, and cloudiness observed in recent decades, A role of greenhouse effect components in the variations of global surface air temperature is assessed using the parameterization developed.
