The Earth is heating up. The early warning signs of global climate change are in -- heat waves and warmer weather, spreading disease, earlier spring arrival, plant and animal range shifts and population declines, sea level rise and coastal flooding, coral reef bleaching, glaciers melting, Arctic and Antarctic warming, downpours, heavy snowfalls, and flooding, droughts and fires.

The Thinning of the Arctic Ice Cover (this page is currently being updated 11/18/1999) In the News Investigators Drew Rothrock, Yanling Yu, Gary Maykut Summary Comparison of sea-ice draft data acquired on submarine cruises between 1993 and 1997 with similar data acquired between 1958 and 1976 indicates that the mean ice draft at the end of the melt season has decreased by about 1.3 m in most of ...

Climatic Research Unit: Data Temperature The basic dataset (HadCRUT) is a combination of land air temperature anomalies (Jones, 1994, CRUTEM1) and sea surface temperature anomalies (Parker et al., 1995) on a 5 x 5 grid-box basis. The merging of the two datasets is discussed in Parker et al., 1994 and more recently in Jones et al., 2001. Both components of the dataset are expressed as anomalies ...
