GreenPolicy360 Siterunner: News from NOAA today. This is type of work I've been focusing on... #EarthScience ... since 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 ...

NOAA Updates its Global Surface Temperature Dataset

New version has 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. This allowed for great global coverage; however, the polar regions were excluded in previous versions. The polar region is now added to other arctic information sources.

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 help support informed decision-making, as well as educating the public on climate change....

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.
