Earth's Global Temperature

Caption

To the left is a map of Earth’s global temperature. This “total” temperature can also be described as a sum of temperatures on coarse (large) scales, temperatures on finer scales, even finer scales, etc. On large scales we see the well-known climate changes. Albert Sneppen’s study documents that the temperature differences become stronger on small scales (credit: Albert Sneppen).
