Experimental Global Temperature Anomalies for December 2005National Climatic Data Center 13 January 2006 |
Experimental Blended Temperature Rankings and Graphics |
| These ranks and anomalies are based on the experimental land and ocean blended data set developed by Smith and Reynolds (2005). Ranks and anomalies may differ from official values which are provided in NCDC's monthly State of the Climate reports. Period of record anomalies for these experimental time series are available via the Experimental Land and Ocean Blended Global Surface Temperature Anomalies page. |
