Figures
Figure 1: Smoothed annual anomalies of combined land-surface air and sea surface temperatures (°C), 1861 to 2000, relative to the 1961 to 1990 average for (a) Northern Hemisphere; (b) Southern Hemisphere; and (c) Globe. The curves shown use running near-decadal averages. (Folland et al., 2001) The solid curves are optimally averaged (Folland et al., 2001), and the dashed curves are standard area weighted (adapted from Jones et al., 2001). The red bars are annual averages and are shown with twice their standard errors (demarcated black bars). From IPCC (2001, Chapter 2.2.2.3).
