Entry ID: LDEO_INDICES_HANSEN

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: This data set consists of average gloabl temperature from an analysis
by Hansen and Lebedeff at NASA/GISS.

These data are an update of the analyses described by Hansen and
Lebedeff (1987). Discussions of the data are given in the
references. The input data for these analyses are principally the
Monthly Climatic Data of the World (MCDW) from about 2000
meteorological stations around the world, ...
