Summary
Abstract: Global and hemispheric annual temperature variations are presented for
1854-1991 based on both land and marine data. Land data are based on
meteorological data and fixed-position weather ship data and have been
corrected for non-climatic errors such as station shifts or instrument
changes. The marine data used are those in the COADS (Comprehensive
Ocean Atmosphere Data Set) compilation which ... View entire text

Quality The data are provisional and subject to change as model improvements are implemented and new input data sets become available. Due to the fact that forcing data for Greenland are unreliable and the lack of a glacier/ice sheet model, snow water equivalent accumulates indefinitely in Greenland and a few other Arctic points. Therefore it is highly recommended that Greenland and other points with abnormally large snow water equivalent values be masked out when performing global analyses.
