The temp data from satellites is more accurate.?

Not necessarily. Just the temperature difference between the satellite and the ground station creates a huge amount of error that must be "adjusted" through computer algorithm. (no pun intended) Satellite temperature data isn't as accurate as you might have been lead to believe.

Notice that I said sattelite data is more accurate, which it is, than ground station readings. I didn’t say it was perfect.
