Sentences with phrase «hemispheric averages»
"Hemispheric averages" refers to the calculation of the average or overall measurement of something across an entire hemisphere, which is half of a sphere. It allows us to understand general patterns or trends for a specific parameter, such as temperature or rainfall, across a large region. Full definition
Prior temperature reconstructions tend to focus on the global average (or sometimes hemispheric average).

Furthermore, if we look at the SH non-smoothed annual datafile and accept that the years 1944 - 1945 were the beginning of a trend - shift for global temperatures, we see that in these years the southern hemispheric average temperature was about 14.02 C and 13.96 C, respectively (assuming a 14C value for the» 61 - ’90 SH average, I don't have any better value but it doesn't matter very much).
I'm not quite certain why they don't wait till the December data are available, but the high month - to - month persistence of global and hemispheric average temperatures means that the 11 - month estimate is always close to the full year results (the latter are usually released in February).
