The Global Temperature in 2011 is not the Hottest

You feel the temperature around your hot throughout the year 2011 then? According to some observers environmental scientists from the United States, in 2011 only in the ninth position as the warmest year of the 33 years since the first Earth's surface temperature recorded last in 1978.

According to John Christy, director of the Earth System Science Center, University of Alabama in Huntsville, United States, the average temperature in 2011 is not hot because there is the phenomenon of cooling water temperature of the Pacific, otherwise known as La Nina at the beginning and end of year it.

If averaged globally, by 2011,
the Earth's atmosphere is about 0.27 degrees
warmer than average during the last 30 years.

"If averaged globally, by 2011, the Earth's atmosphere is about 0.27 degrees warmer than average during the last 30 years," said Christy, January 10, 2011.

They developed their own system reports temperature records from almost all regions of planet Earth.

As part of an ongoing project between the University of Alabama, NASA, and the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Christy and her team used data collected by the advanced microwave sounding units on NOAA and NASA satellites belonging to obtain accurate temperature information from the entire region the earth. Includes remote desert, ocean, rain forests, which are regions where the climate of accurate data is not available.

Satellites also measured the temperature of the Earth's atmosphere from the surface to an altitude of 26 thousand feet (7924 meters) above sea level. Data were collected and processed on a monthly basis, and available to researchers atmosphere and environmentalists from around the world.
