data_WorldTemp: Annual average world temperature

data_WorldTempR Documentation

Annual average world temperature

Description

This data set was downloaded from Berkeley Earth on October 6th, 2020. Specifically, it contains the time series data for “land only” using the annual summary of monthly average temperature. We have added to the data set used here the absolute average temperature. (Berkeley Earth only lists the “annual anomaly”, i.e., the deviation from a grand mean.)
