Temperature Measurement Stations
Weather stations currently used in the GISS Surface Temperature Analysis (v4). The size of the station markers is varied to reduce overplotting and is not indicative of any properties of that station.
The weather stations used in the GISS Surface Temperature Analysis (v4). In this analysis only stations with reasonably long, consistently measured time records are used. 20,924 stations are shown in this visualization.

GISTEMP [GISS Surface Temperature Analysis (GISTEMP)]
ID: 585The GISS Surface Temperature Analysis version 4 (GISTEMP v4) is an estimate of global surface temperature change. Graphs and tables are updated around the middle of every month using current data files from NOAA GHCN v4 (meteorological stations) and ERSST v5 (ocean areas), combined as described in our publications Hansen et al. (2010), Lenssen et al. (2019), and Lenssen et al. (2024).
