Sentences with phrase «using global average surface air temperatures»

Unfortunately using global average surface air temperatures as a measure of total warming ignores the fact that most of the heat (more than 93 %) goes into our oceans, which continue to warm without any sign of a pause, as you can see below.

Not exact matches

The global temperature records use a blend of air and sea - surface temperatures, while global average temperatures from climate models typically use just air temperatures.

There is to mention, that the globally average temperature of the air near the surface (y = T) of about 288 K was calculated using the definition of a global average, too.

However, for changes over time, only anomalies, as departures from a climatology, are used, most commonly based on the area - weighted global average of the sea surface temperature anomaly and land surface air temperature anomaly.
