GISS Surface Temperature Analysis

The GISTEMP dataset is a global 2x2 gridded temperature anomaly dataset. Temperature data is updated around the middle of every month using current
data files from NOAA GHCN v3 (meteorological stations), ERSST v5 (ocean areas), and SCAR (Antarctic stations), combined as described in the December
2010 publication (Hansen et al. 2010). These updated files incorporate reports for the previous month and also late reports and corrections for
earlier months. Please refer to the NASA webpage for more details, caveats, and products.
