You feel about your hot temperatures throughout the last 2011 years? According to some observers environmental scientists from the United States, in 2011 only in the ninth position as the hottest 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, known as La Nina at the beginning and end of year it.
"If averaged globally, in 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 the planet.
As part of an ongoing project between the University of Alabama, NASA, and National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Christy and her team used data collected by the advanced microwave sounding units on NOAA and NASA's satellite to get an accurate temperature information from the entire region earth. Includes remote desert, ocean, rain forests, which are areas where accurate climate data are not available.
Satellites also measure 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 are available for atmospheric research and environmentalists from around the world.
