Sentences with phrase «sea surface temperature measurements»

The figure shows that the impact of the adjustment to remove the cold bias from bucket sea surface temperature measurements warms the historical data, decreasing the amount of global warming the data indicate.

This is largely due to the corrections in sea surface temperature measurements.

It is widely realized that WWii saw changes in the construction of sampling buckets for sea surface temperature measurement, and many navies switching to water intake temperatures in compiling data from ships at sea.

There is a recognised bias in the dataset from the period around WWII associated with changes in the nationality of the shipping fleets taking sea surface temperature measurements - the main contributor to the temperature record - due to the war.

The adjustments also completely contradict the satellite sea surface temperature measurements that actually do have global coverage and are not manually manipulated post hoc.

So, these early Sea Surface Temperature measurements didn't provide a continuous record for any individual location.

Carbon Brief produced a raw global temperature record using using unadjusted ICOADS sea surface temperature measurements gridded by the UK Hadley Centre and raw land temperature measurements assembled by NOAA in version 4 of the Global Historical Climatological Network (GHCN).

Oceans make up 70 % of the Earth's surface, and so accurate sea surface temperature measurements are important in understanding the temperature changes of the last 1 1/2 centuries.

Weather stations provide land measurements, and satellites provide sea surface temperature measurements over the ocean.

Not only that, but there is increasingly compelling evidence that the recent short - term slowdown in the surface temperature record was much less pronounced than previously estimated, if rapid Arctic warming is fully reflected, along with potential biases from the changing mix of sea surface temperature measurement sources in recent years.

Data sources available for Sea Surface Temperature measurements.

Global average temperature The mean surface temperature of the Earth measured from three main sources: satellites, monthly readings from a network of over 3,000 surface temperature observation stations and sea surface temperature measurements taken mainly from the fleet of merchant ships, naval ships and data buoys.
