NASA scientists say 2013 tied with 2009 and 2006 for the seventh warmest year since 1880, continuing a long-term trend of rising global temperatures. With the exception of 1998, the 10 warmest years in the 134-year record all have occurred since 2000, with 2010 and 2005 ranking as the warmest years on record.NASA s National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C. These three primary records use slightly different methods, but overall, their trends show close agreement.Additional commentary on the 2013 temperature anomaly is provided by Dr. James Hansen of Columbia University at: http://www.columbia.edu/~jeh1/mailings/2014/20140121_Temperature2013.pdfThe GISTEMP analysis website is located at: http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/ This color-coded map in Robinson projection displays a progression of changing global surface temperatures anomalies from 1880 through 2013. Higher than normal temperatures are shown in red and lower then normal temperatures are shown in blue.The final frame represents global temperature anomalies averaged from 2009 through 2013. This color-coded map displays the above progression of changing global surface temperatures anomalies from 1880 through 2013 without the date and colorbar overlays. Global Temperature Anomalies averaged from 2009 to 2013 in Robinson projection. Temperature Difference Colorbar This is the frame matched date overlay that corresponds to the data. Abbreviated 14 second movie starting from 1950 through 2013 with dates and colorbar applied. Abbreviated 7 second movie which starts in 1950 and runs through 2013 with dates and colorbar. This frame set is designed to be used on the Science On a Sphere display. It contains the five-year rolling averages that start with (1880 through 1884) and end with (2009 through 2013). This 1920 by 1080 pixel frame sequence has each 5 year rolling average beginning with the first data set from 1880-1884 and ending with the last data set from 2009-2014 without any transition frames included.
