The satellite - based record of
land surface maximum temperatures, scientists have found, provides a sensitive
global thermometer that links bulk shifts in
maximum temperatures with ecosystem change and human well - being.
It was the discovery of a consistent year - to - year profile that allowed the researchers to move beyond a previous analysis, in which they identified the hottest spots on Earth, to the development of a new
global - change indicator that uses the entire planet's
maximum land surface temperatures.
That's not what the data shows - Vose et al 2005; «Minimum temperature increased about twice as fast as
maximum temperature over
global land areas since 1950, resulting in a broad decline in the diurnal temperature range...», and Zhou et al 2009; «Observations show that the
surface diurnal temperature range (DTR) has decreased since 1950s over most
global land areas...» would disagree.
