Continental trends

Global mean temperature is based on measurements made at weather stations over land and by ships and buoys over the ocean. Temperatures are typically expressed as anomalies which are temperature differences from the average for a standard period. Here, 1850-1900 is used for the global mean. Instrumental temperature records are some of the longest climate records available, with some series extending back to the 17th century.

The data in the above plot are available in a zip file containing a csv file for each data set.

To produce the plot, the following processing steps were performed:

• "Data set created from file ['NOAAGlobalTemp_v*.nc'] downloaded from ['https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/data/noaa-global-surface-temperature/v5/access/gridded/NOAAGlobalTemp_v.*.nc'] at ['2023-02-02 09:18:32']"
• "Data set created from file ['NOAAGlobalTemp_v*.nc'] downloaded from ['https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/data/noaa-global-surface-temperature/v5/access/gridded/NOAAGlobalTemp_v.*.nc'] at ['2023-02-02 09:18:32']"
• "Regridded to 1 degree latitude-longitude resolution"
• "Rebaselined to 1991-2020"
• "Calculated area-average"
• "Calculated annual average from monthly averages using arithmetic mean"
• "Selected years within the range 1900 to 2022."
• "Wrote to file wmo_ra_1_NOAAGlobalTemp.csv"
• Data set created from file ['wmo_ra_1_NOAAGlobalTemp.csv'] downloaded from [''] at ['2023-02-02 18:40:39']
