The reason the NOAA uses the ground monitoring system rather than the satellite system is because each ground surface reading requires “manual” adjustments to correct for surrounding factors. NASA’s satellite system for monitoring global temperatures is much more accurate and requires no manual adjustments for its readings. The reason the NOAA stopped using the satellite system is its readings didn’t match what the NOAA wanted and they had no credible reason to alter the readings. So they quit using the satellite system and started using the less accurate ground monitoring stations. The reason is simple, the “manual adjustment” phase gave them the reason they needed to adjust the data to show the warming trend they wanted.  Many, if not most, of these ground surface monitors are like this.
