Latest Global Temps
Latest Global Average Tropospheric Temperatures
Since 1979, NOAA satellites have been carrying instruments which measure the natural microwave thermal emissions from oxygen in the atmosphere. The intensity of the signals these microwave radiometers measure at different microwave frequencies is directly proportional to the temperature of different, deep layers of the atmosphere. Every month, John Christy and I update global temperature datasets that represent the piecing together of the temperature data from a total of fifteen instruments flying on different satellites over the years. A discussion of the latest major version update (6.0) of the dataset is located here.
The graph above represents the latest update; updates are usually made within the first week of every month. Contrary to some reports, the satellite measurements are not calibrated in any way with the global surface-based thermometer records of temperature. They instead use their own on-board precision redundant platinum resistance thermometers (PRTs) calibrated to a laboratory reference standard before launch, embedded in high-emissivity targets that are viewed by the radiometer once each scan. The radiometers also view the cosmic background radiation (assumed to be 2.7 Kelvin) once each scan. The Earth-viewing measurements are then interpolated between the cosmic background temperature and the warm calibration target temperature.
The digital data for the above plot, as well as for various sub-regions of the Earth and for three other atmospheric layers, are available at the links below. You can copy and paste the data into a spreadsheet program like Excel to do your own plotting and analysis (in Excel, you might need to use the “Data>Text to Columns” function to get the data separated into columns after pasting):

I have learned quite a few important things through your post. I’d also like to state that there will be a situation where you will make application for a loan and never need a co-signer such as a National Student Aid Loan. However, if you are getting a borrowing arrangement through a regular financier then you need to be able to have a cosigner ready to enable you to. The lenders are going to base their decision using a few components but the largest will be your credit worthiness. There are some loan merchants that will as well look at your work history and make a decision based on this but in almost all cases it will hinge on your score.
This is hands down one of the best articles I’ve read on this topic! The author’s extensive knowledge and enthusiasm for the subject are evident in every paragraph. I’m so grateful for coming across this piece as it has enriched my knowledge and sparked my curiosity even further. Thank you, author, for dedicating the time to craft such a phenomenal article!
