Are you serious? Have you heard of Wikipedia?tonyeveland said:Yes. I haven't found it there. I hope this forum can provide it.
Another word for 'mean' is 'average'. I had quite good luck googling 'Earth average temperature' and then clicking on the 'image' button.tonyeveland said:Yes. I haven't found it there. I hope this forum can provide it.
Lots of hits for the below, even with the q intonyeveland said:TL;DR Summary: Does anyone have a table of Earth mean temperatures?
I would like a table of Earth mean temperatures going back as far as available. Where can I find that?
The OP was on the site for 17 minutes. Hopefully googled and took something.johnbbahm said:If you are asking about atmospheric temperatures as measured 2 meters above the ground,
GISS temperature is not a bad one, and goes back to 1880.
The "Global-mean monthly, seasonal, and annual means, 1880-present," can be exported as text of CSV.
Other data sets include HadCrut5, RSS, and BEST.
The average temperature of Earth is approximately 15 degrees Celsius (59 degrees Fahrenheit). However, this value can vary based on different factors such as location, season, and time period considered.
The Earth's mean temperature is calculated using a combination of surface temperature measurements from land and ocean stations, satellite data, and climate models. These measurements are averaged over a specific time period to provide a representative value.
Historical temperature records are important because they help scientists understand climate trends, identify patterns of warming or cooling, and assess the impacts of human activity on the climate over time. These records are essential for climate change research.
Current trends indicate that Earth's mean temperature is rising, with an increase of approximately 1.2 degrees Celsius (2.2 degrees Fahrenheit) since the late 19th century. This trend is largely attributed to human-induced greenhouse gas emissions.
Reliable tables of Earth mean temperatures can be found through reputable sources such as NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). These organizations provide comprehensive climate data and analysis.
