Abstract

The changes of content of CO2 in the atmosphere over the territory of Ukraine on the basis of measurements from ENVISAT/SCIAMACHY for 2003–2011 and from GOSAT for 2010–2012 have been analyzed. These results have been compared with the air temperature from ground meteorological observations in Ukraine. It is revealed the correlative relationship between changes of content of CO2 in the atmosphere and the air temperature. It is established that value of concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere and the air temperature (°C) are in direct correlation dependence that gives the chance to predict changes of concentration of CO2, having temperature trend and vice versa.
