NASA’s global temperature analysis showed June 2023 was the warmest June on record. GISTEMP, the space organization’s measurement of global temperature, is derived from a series of recorded temperatures around the world.
Nasa scientists at the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York Measurements taken were analyzed By instruments mounted on ships and sea buoys. GISS was able to calculate a global average based on the patterns detected by these field-level methods.
The researchers say these methods will help to account for uncertainties in the data and maintain consistent methods for calculating global mean surface temperature differences each year.
Satellite data have been collected regularly over the past 20 years, since 2002, using the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder aboard NASA’s Aqua satellite. These are not the only guesses.
What was NASA’s basis for comparison?
when determining how to Measure and compare historical global temperaturesNASA used the period from 1951 to 1980 as a baseline to best understand global temperature changes over the decades.
According to the space agency, NASA was not involved in this study. Other analyzes included the independent ventures of the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service and NOAA’s National Center for Environmental Information. Each individually found June 2023 to be the hottest June ever.
