Along with temperature variations in the mesopause region, two versions of temperature variations in the mesopause region, normalized to the same level of solar activity, were analyzed. Quantitative estimates of a significant decrease in temperature in the mesopause region over the past decades in winter, against the background of global surface temperature increases, were obtained. Additionally, using cross-wavelet analysis of data for the time interval 1960–2024, significant coherence of their most long-term variations with the surface temperature in the Northern Hemisphere was noted, which had not been observed in data for shorter time intervals. The possibility of such coherence was predicted in (Mokhov et al., 2017) in the context of continued global warming based on the results of model simulations for the 20th–21st centuries, taking into account anthropogenic forcing, but it had not been observed in obsevational data for shorter time intervals. Along with long-term trends, notable features include a sharp temperature drop in the mesopause region during the 1970s and its synchronicity with the well-known shift in surface climate regimes associated with El Niño events.
