Global climate temperature anomaly data from 1800 to 2011

Description

This data set includes estimated global temperature anamoly data for the years 1800 through 2011. The anomaly is the difference from the baseline temperature, which is the mean of the yearly temperatures from 1951-1980.

Usage

Variables

• Source: Data source (Berkeley, CRUTEM3, NASA).

• Year: Year for the estimate.

• Anomaly1y: Temperature anomaly in Celcius, smoothed over one year.

• Anomaly5y: Temperature anomaly in Celcius, smoothed over five years.

• Anomaly10y: Temperature anomaly in Celcius, smoothed over ten years.

• Unc10y: Uncertainty for 10-year-smoothed anomaly.
