Environment The global temperature may be even higher than we thought Researchers have proposed a more accurate way to calculate the global surface air temperature, which suggests we are just ...

Daily global average surface air temperature anomalies (°C) relative to estimated values for 1850-1900 plotted as time series for each year from Jan. 1, 1940 to March 3, 2024. C3S/ECMWF ...

Specifically, the study analyzed the “global mean surface temperature” (GMST), which is widely studied to monitor climate change, but also presented some challenges: GMST tends to rise over time due ...

The global sea surface temperature in March was 69.93 degrees — the highest monthly value on record, marginally hotter than the temperature measured in February, according to Copernicus.

A new study co-led by the Smithsonian and the University of Arizona offers the most detailed glimpse yet of how Earth’s surface temperature has changed over the past 485 million years. In a paper ...

Scientists say the unfolding El Niño event superimposed on long-term global warming is a primary driver of this huge spike in global surface temperatures since mid-2023.

Land surface temperature (LST) is a critical parameter for understanding Earth's energy balance and monitoring climate change ...

A statement by the Copernicus Climate Change Service last week confirmed that the surface temperature on Earth, averaged over the course of all of 2023, was 1.56 degrees Celsius warmer than the ...

NOAA's data also shows that global sea surface temperatures were the highest on record for April, with a temperature anomaly of 0.5706C above the 20th century average. Now in second place is 1998, ...
