Global Surface Temperature Anomalies - 2020

Description

This shows the mean surface air temperature anomalies for the year 2020 as compared to the base period means from 1950-1980. The topographies shown are scaled by a factor of 20 to be more prevalent. The data comes from a NASA GISS 5 X 5 curvelinear grid dataset with 1200km smoothing. The data was interpolated using the Python package xarray to scale the data by a factor of 64 prior to projecting it onto a polygonal mesh. Paraview was used to render this model. https://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/ Temperature anomoly colormap (degrees Celsius)
