These surface stations are located around the world, and are used to derive a global temperature. The first NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) global temperature analysis was published in 1981. Hansen and his co-author analyzed the surface air temperature at meteorological stations focusing on the years from 1880 to 1985.
NASA scientists estimated that in 2024, Earth was about 2.65 degrees Fahrenheit (1.47 degrees Celsius) hotter than the average from the mid-19th century — a period from 1850 to 1900.
"The abrupt new records set in 2023 and 2024 join other evidence that recent global warming appears to be moving faster than expected,” said Robert Rohde, Berkeley Earth’s lead scientist.
As of 2024, Schmidt heads NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies. [5] He was named for the director position in June 2014 as its then deputy director, becoming to the third person to hold this post, which had been vacant after the retirement of James E. Hansen . [ 6 ]
A key objective of Goddard Institute for Space Studies research is prediction of climate change in the 21st century. The research combines paleogeological record, analysis of comprehensive global datasets (derived mainly from spacecraft observations), with global models of atmospheric, land surface, and oceanic processes.
