Five-Year Global Temperature Anomalies from 1880 to 2012

Visualizations by Lori Perkins Released on January 15, 2013

There is a newer version of this story located here: https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4882

This color-coded map displays a progression of changing global surface temperatures anomalies from 1880 through 2012. Higher than normal temperatures are shown in red and lower then normal temperatures are shown in blue. Global surface temperature in 2012 was +0.55

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 (2008 through 2012).
