World daily temperature records have been smashed this week, according to preliminary data. ManilaBulletin
The modeling tools that produced these estimates can provide an early warning of extreme heat events, even if they aren't as precise as monthly and yearly reports produced by leading agencies, say experts.The University of Maine has established an online tool called Climate Reanalyzer, which shows the curves of average global temperature for each day since 1979.
The two tools are conceptually similar but differ in their exact sources and methods, leading to the slightly different results. "These are estimates, unofficial records," University of Maine climate scientist Sean Birkel, who developed Climate Reanalyzer, told AFP. These reports are based "solely on observations" from the land and sea, and gather far more data points, explained Hausfather.
Despite these limitations, the value of daily records is "we can start to identify extreme events," which could have climate significance, said Birkel.
