NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) is updating its current global climate dataset to provide more information about the Earth’s climate, while also extending the planet’s observed temperature record by 30 years.

The update to NCEI’s current NOAA Global Temperature dataset — one of the most visible and widely used datasets to assess global climate — will make its debut in the upcoming January 2023 global climate report to be released on February 14, 2023. This new global climate dataset will expand upon and replace the current one that has been used since 2019.

"This new version of NOAA's global surface temperature dataset is part of NCEI’s commitment to provide a complete and comprehensive perspective of the Earth’s climate," said NCEI director Deke Arndt. “Regular updates to our datasets help us expand our understanding of our dynamic planet."
