Deke Arndt at the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) has a recent blog post at Climate.gov<\/a> which provides some perspective on temperatures around the globe in 2014 to date and what it means for the yearly temperature record.\u00a0 The post points out that the globe has already set several temperature records this year and that if we continue on this path, we might observe the warmest year ever in recorded weather observations.<\/p>\n

This report is based on surface weather records, which cover temperatures near the earth’s surface and primarily over land, although NCDC has accounted for this in their calculation of the global temperature.\u00a0 If you follow satellite temperature records, you will know that the satellites record a slightly different story.\u00a0 Satellites measure average temperatures over a depth of the atmosphere from the ground to 8 kilometers high.\u00a0 They have the advantage of being able to cover the entire globe, including over the oceans, but because they measure such a deep layer of the atmosphere, may not reflect conditions at the ground where we live.\u00a0 Satellite temperatures also show that the global atmosphere is rising, but at a slower rate that is attributed to cooling in the higher part of the atmosphere which reduces the overall trend.<\/p>\n
