The Arctic is the fastest-warming region in the world, warming at least three times faster than any other region on Earth. The exclusion of this region in previous versions of NOAAGlobalTemp resulted in a very slight cold bias in the global average, particularly in recent years.

After many years, we begin to see our work as the early years of a Generation Green.

We were looking to protect our Living Earth.

I was fortunate in being there and GreenPolicy360 shares many stories about these years and 'earth observing systems' that went from visions of what data and science was needed to decades of programs and missions that acted to deliver a treasure trove that opened eyes and began providing today's climate science/atmospheric and earth science.

Here is a personal remembrance of those early days... the launch of #EarthDay in 1970. I'm remembering George Brown explaining to Gaylord Nelson in a planning mtg how we needed data, climate info w a baseline and access to the data sets for scientists, educators, and public. Rep Brown told the Senator that he'd get the job going in his com't oversight role. He did -- for three decades George shepherded NASA/NOAA/USGS/JPL, a flock of Earth Science missions, programs and their funding. George was referred to over the years as the 'Big Science' man ...

Earth Observing System


Originating with a NASA 'Mission Statement' and visionary Earth Science leaders in the U.S. Congress, a whole earth research mission, environmental protection movement is launched...


GreenPolicy360 siterunner, Steven Schmidt, recalls the origins of earth science missions and visionary leaders:

The Original Mission Statement of NASA (1958) provided Congressional intent and guidance to the first generation of space programs. US Congressman George Brown, if he were here, would've done I am certain everything within his power to continue the original 'our' part of the mission statement... 'to understand and protect our home planet'...

“To understand and protect our home planet; to explore the universe and search for life; to inspire the next generation of explorers ... as only NASA can.”


The NASA programs to understand and protect can be traced to the 1960s when a monumental new technology was invented and, with a fortuitous shift in U.S. remote imaging capabilities from to digital, 'multispectral' scanning, the Landsat program took off and the data that began coming back from near-orbit Landsat satellites forever changed how we see, study and interact with our home planet.


"Generation Green"

GreenPolicy360's archive of the 1960s/70s earth science, an environmental era start up that your siterunner experienced personally, includes memories that reveal rarely discussed highlights of the Landsat and first earth observation satellites, the beginnings of the Earth Observing System (EOS), Earth Science missions now in their fifth decade.

NOAA Updates its Global Surface Temperature Dataset

Adds complete global coverage


February 10, 2023


Providing reliable and quality climate information allows government agencies, researchers, and others to make informed decisions that can save lives and improve quality of life. Since the late 1990s, NCEI has provided a suite of climate services, including the monthly Global Climate Report, to support this mission. One of its most highly visible and widely used products is NOAA’s global surface temperature dataset (also known as NOAAGlobalTemp), which is an authoritative dataset used to assess observed global climate change.


NOAAGlobalTemp has been used by multiple science organizations such as the World Meteorological Organization and in assessments, such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society (BAMS) State of the Climate reports. It is also usually compared to other respected global surface temperature datasets such as those produced by NASA and the UK Met Office, among others.

Through the years, the main data sources for the NOAAGlobalTemp dataset have been the Global Historical Climatology Network - Monthly (GHCNm), which uses weather stations across the land surfaces, as well as the Extended Reconstructed Sea Surface Temperature (ERSST), which uses ships, buoys, surface drifters, profiling floats, and recently other uncrewed automatic systems, over the ocean surfaces.

As technology improves and additional data sources become available, it is essential to update these datasets in order to provide the most accurate depiction of the Earth’s environmental conditions—updated datasets support informed decision-making on climate change....
