The temperature range coveered by each color was chosen as 0.12 °C per color, in order to use use all sixteen colors without clipping. The "border" temperature between red and blue stripes was chosen as the average of the highest and lowest temperature values (not as an average of a date range as is customary in warming stripes).
Nearly all of Antarctica is covered by a sheet of ice that is, on average, at least 1,500 m (5,000 ft) thick. Antarctica contains 90% of the world's ice and more than 70% of its fresh water. If all the land-ice covering Antarctica were to melt—around 30 × 10 ^ 6 km 3 (7.2 × 10 ^ 6 cu mi) of ice—the seas would rise by over 60 m (200 ft). [22]
Antarctic surface ice layer temperature trends between 1981 and 2007, based on thermal infrared observations made by a series of NOAA satellite sensors.. Climate change caused by greenhouse gas emissions from human activities occurs everywhere on Earth, and while Antarctica is less vulnerable to it than any other continent, [1] climate change in Antarctica has been observed.
The initial concept of visualizing historical temperature data has been extended to involve animation, [10] to visualize sea level rise [11] and predictive climate data, [12] and to visually juxtapose temperature trends with other data such as atmospheric CO 2 concentration, [13] global glacier retreat, [14] precipitation, [4] progression of ...
The 2024 Antarctica heat wave refers to a prolonged and significant mid-winter increase in Antarctic temperatures compared to prior winters, causing several regions of Antarctica to reach temperatures 10 °C (18.0 °F) above normal in July 2024, up to a 28 °C (50.4 °F) increase above average. The heat wave was significant for occurring during ...
Parts of icy Antarctica are turning green with plant life as the region is gripped by extreme heat events, new research shows, sparking concerns about the changing landscape on this vast continent.
Global average temperature, atmospheric CO 2, and sunspot activity since 1850. Thick lines for temperature and sunspots represent a 25 year moving average smoothing of the raw data. This figure was produced by Leland McInnes using python and matplotlib and is licensed under the GFDL. All data is from publicly available sources.
The Tempestry Project is a collaborative fiber arts project that presents global warming data in visual form through knitted or crocheted artwork. The project is part of a larger "data art" movement and the developing field of climate change art, which seeks to exploit the human tendency to value personal experience over data by creating accessible experiential representations of the data.
