Abstract. Parties to the 2015 Paris Agreement agreed to limit the long-term increase in global average temperature to well below 2 °C and pursue efforts to keep temperatures below 1.5 °C relative to p...

DCENT-I infills data gaps in DCENT, producing spatially coherent temperature fields (top) and a slightly higher GMST warming estimate (bottom). Top: December 1877 temperature anomalies (°C; 1961–1990...

Thousands of peer-reviewed journal articles were published over 2024, helping shape online discourse around climate change.

Nature - Data anomalies and the economic commitment of climate change

This paper synthesizes evidence on climate change impacts specific to U.S. populations. We develop an apples-to-apples comparison of econometric studies that empirically estimate the relationship betw...

A new study focuses on improving global temperature data sets in light of uneven warming across the globe. To fill gaps in historical climate records, the study relies in part on sea ice data from the...

Abstract NOAA’s Extended Reconstructed Sea Surface Temperature (SST; ERSST) is operational global SST product based on in situ observations, which has been widely used monitoring and assessing global ...

Independent statistical reconstructions of the global mean surface temperature from either ocean or land data show that existing estimates of early-twentieth-century ocean surface temperatures are too...

Scientific Data - A Dynamically Consistent ENsemble of Temperature at the Earth surface since 1850 from the DCENT dataset

Is there a better way to combine global temperature datasets?
