Ten-Year Average Global Temperature Anomaly Image from 2000 to 2009

Visualizations by Lori Perkins Released on January 26, 2010

There is a high degree of interannual (year-to-year) and decadal variability in both global and hemispheric temperatures. Underlying this variability, however, is a long-term warming trend that has become strong and persistent over the past three decades. The long-term trends are more apparent when temperature is averaged over several years. This image represents the 10 year average temperatures anomaly data from 2000 through 2009.

This image represents the 10 year average temperatures anomaly data from 2000 through 2009 relative to the 1951-1980 mean.
