FIGURE E1. Surface temperature anomalies (°C, top)
and surface temperature expressed as percentiles of the normal (Gaussian)
distribution fit to the 1971–2000 base period data (bottom).
Analysis is based on station data over land and on SST data over the
oceans (top). Anomalies for station data are departures from the 1971–2000
base period means, while SST anomalies are departures from the 1971–2000
adjusted OI climatology. (Smith and Reynolds 1998, J. Climate, 11,
3320-3323). Regions with insufficient data for analysis in both
figures are indicated by shading in the top figure only.
