Local temperature fluctuations on Earth

Caption

Local temperature fluctuations on Earth Local temperature fluctuations on Earth in the 1880s (left), compared to today (right). White colors show the average temperature during the period 1951–1980, while blue and red show colder and warmer temperatures, respectively. Globally, the temperature has increased roughly 1 °C over this period, but locally the variations may be greater or smaller. Now, new research sheds light on the link between these variations and the unstable weather. Source: NASA's Scientific Visualization Studio.
