temperature anomalies has varied over time. As the planet has warmed, we see the peak of the distribution shifting to the right. The distribution of temperatures broadens as well. This broadening is most likely due to differential regional warming rather than increased temperature variability at any given location.

These distributions are calculated from the Goddard Institute of Space Studies GISTEMP surface temperature analysis. Distributions are determined for each year using a kernal density esitmator, and we morph between those distributions in the animation.

NASA’s full surface temperature data set – and the complete methodology used to make the temperature calculation – are available at: https://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp

GISS is a NASA laboratory managed by the Earth Sciences Division of the agency’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. The laboratory is affiliated with Columbia University’s Earth Institute and School of Engineering and Applied Science in New York.

Wheat, in contrast, may see an uptick in crop yields by about 17%. The change in yields is due to the projected increases in temperature, shifts in rainfall patterns and elevated surface carbon dioxide concentrations due to human-caused greenhouse gas emissions, making it more difficult to grow maize in the tropics and expanding wheat’s growing range. || ", "release_date": "2021-11-01T12:00:00-04:00", "update_date": "2023-05-03T13:43:47.278008-04:00", "main_image": { "id": 375779, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a010000/a013900/a013979/Screen_Shot_2021-10-28_at_2.29.18_PM.png", "filename": "Screen_Shot_2021-10-28_at_2.29.18_PM.png", "media_type": "Image", "alt_text": "Music: Futurity by Lee Groves [PRS] and Peter George Marett [PRS]Complete transcript available.", "width": 1777, "height": 998, "pixels": 1773446 } } ], "newer_versions": [], "older_versions": [ { "id": 3975, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/3975/", "page_type": "Visualization", "title": "Shifting Distribution of Northern Hemisphere Summer Temperature Anomalies, 1951-2011", "description": "This bell curve graph shows how the distribution of Northern Hemisphere summer temperature anomalies has shifted toward an increase in hot summers. The seasonal mean temperature for the entire base period of 1951-1980 is plotted at the top of the bell curve. Decreasing in frequency to the right are what are defined as \"hot\" anomalies (between 1 and 2 standard deviations from the norm), \"very hot\" anomalies (between 2 and 3 standard deviations) and \"extremely hot\" anomalies (greater than 3 standard deviations). The anomalies fall off to the left in mirror-image categories of \"cold, \"very cold\" and \"extremely cold.\" The range between the .43 and -.43 standard deviation marks represent \"normal\" temperatures. As the graph moves forward in time, the bell curve shifts to the right, representing an increase in the frequency of the various hot anomalies. It also gets wider and shorter, representing a wider range of temperature extremes. As the graph moves beyond 1980, the temperatures are still compared to the seasonal mean of the 1951-1980 base period, so that as it reaches the 21st century, there is a far greater frequency of temperatures that once fell 3 standard deviations beyond the mean. As the graphic indicates, each bell curve shown through the time series represents the distribution of anomalies over an 11-year period. || ", "release_date": "2012-08-04T15:00:00-04:00", "update_date": "2023-05-03T13:52:52.042557-04:00", "main_image": { "id": 473513, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a000000/a003900/a003975/bell_final_comp.1300.jpg", "filename": "bell_final_comp.1300.jpg", "media_type": "Image", "alt_text": "Animated bell curveThis video is also available on our YouTube channel.", "width": 1920, "height": 1080, "pixels": 2073600 } } ], "alternate_versions": [] }
