If you follow Earth and climate science closely ... Although all four science institutions have strong similarities in how they track and analyze temperatures, there are subtle differences. As shown ...

Collaborating with Andy Lacis, a colleague at NASA, he built a simple climate model to simulate how changes in the atmosphere cause Earth’s average temperature to change over time. Hansen and Lacis ...

Australian and regional temperature timeseries are available from 1910 to present (prior to 1910 Australian temperature observations are sparse and some were measured in non-standard ways). Note that ...

To monitor the Pacific Ocean for signs of El Niño or La Niña, climatologists use several SST indices. These indices measure the difference between the current sea surface temperature and its long-term ...

January bucked climate scientists' expectations with a record average surface temperature of 13.23 degrees Celsius and 1.75 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, well above the Paris ...

Below are highlights from NOAA's 2024 annual global climate report: Earth's average land and ocean surface temperature in 2024 was 2.32°F (1.29°C) above the 20th-century average—the highest ...

The greater the temperature departure from average, the darker the color. The bar graph at the bottom indicates the water vapor anomaly (departure ... Water vapor is a greenhouse gas, meaning it is a ...

Oceans cover more than 70% of Earth’s surface, and their warming is gravely concerning. So how much is down to climate change ...

By Austyn Gaffney and Mira Rojanasakul Earth’s prolonged streak of abnormal heat continued into 2025 despite the arrival of La Niña ocean conditions, which typically bring cooler temperatures.

Although the chances of impact are slim, Bennu is still one of the most potentially hazardous known asteroids in our solar ...
