    Thank you for making this compilation available.

  2. Maybe the graph in the “CRU Information Sheet no. 1: Global Temperature Record” (Dr. Phil Jones), at http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/cru/info/warming/ should be included?

    Thanks Anthony, great work!

    The above gives a lot on nice information. I am a dabbler, not very knowledgeable, and I am usually only interested in the global results for a month or year(the numbers). The following URL’s are implicit or explicit above but some readers might find them helpful when gathered. These are the only ones I know of—please correct me if I have misinterpreted something or omitted some interdependent source.

    1)Hadley Centre.
    http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/cru/data/temperature/hadcrut3gl.txt [gives monthly(first 12 columns) and yearly global(last column)]
    http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/cru/data/temperature/ [page with links to various Hadley Centre data sets]

    2)GISS-NASA
    http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/tabledata/GLB.Ts.txt [gives monthly and yearly results]
    [explains at bottom how to go from “anomaly”to temperature at this site.]

    3)RISS
    ftp://ftp.ssmi.com/msu/monthly_time_series/rss_monthly_msu_amsu_channel_tlt_anomalies_land_and_ocean_v03_3.txt [gives monthly only(first column is ? global)---must average to get yearly]
    ftp://ftp.remss.com/msu/monthly_time_series/ [page with links to various RISS monthly series]

    4)UAH
    http://vortex.nsstc.uah.edu/data/msu/t2lt/uahncdc.lt [gives monthly only(first column is global)—must average to get yearly]
    http://www.drroyspencer.com/latest-global-temperatures/ [graph of above]
