Based on data analysis

Our aim is to resolve current criticism of the former temperature analyses, and to prepare an open record that will allow rapid response to further criticism or suggestions. Our results will include not only our best estimate for the global temperature change, but estimates of the uncertainties in the record.

Methodology

Data Set

Findings

Independent

This work has been organized under the auspices of the non-profit Novim Group, and is independent of the other three groups that do surface temperature analysis.

Replicable

We hope to provide an open platform for further analysis by publishing our complete data and software code. The initial data release is now available here, and the code is here.

Inclusive

The Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature study is using over 39,000 unique stations, which is more than five times the 7,280 stations found in the Global Historical Climatology Network Monthly data set (GHCN-M).
