Published files, one archive.

The zip holds monthly series, ice-core and benthic paleo, and the ICS unit table, plus a citations file. Sea-level and TSI traces are rate composites — they are included and marked schematic. For the official monthly products use the links below.

• UAH lower-troposphere temperature v6.1

  DataPaper

  Microwave sounding of the lower troposphere from NOAA/NASA polar orbiters, processed at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. Near-global including oceans, since late 1978.

  Spencer, Christy, Braswell — UAH MSU/AMSU TLT v6.1 monthly.

• RSS TLT v4

  DataPaper

  Independent microwave troposphere retrieval (Remote Sensing Systems). Same satellites as UAH, different diurnal-drift and weighting choices — hence two curves.

  Mears & Wentz — RSS MSU/AMSU TLT v4.

• HadCRUT5

  DataPaper

  Met Office Hadley Centre / CRU blend of land air temperature (CRUTEM5) and sea-surface temperature (HadSST4) from 1850. Native baseline 1961–1990.

  Morice et al., 2021, JGR Atmospheres — HadCRUT.5 analysis.

• NASA GISTEMP v4

  DataPaper

  NASA GISS land–ocean index. Extrapolates into data-poor cells. Native baseline 1951–1980.

  GISTEMP Team / Lenssen et al. — GISS Surface Temperature Analysis v4.

• NOAA GML Mauna Loa CO₂

  DataPaper

  In situ mole fraction of CO₂ at Mauna Loa since March 1958 (Keeling curve), continued by NOAA Global Monitoring Laboratory.

  Lan, Tans, Keeling — NOAA GML in-situ monthly mean.

• Law Dome ice / firn CO₂

  DataPaper

  High-accumulation East Antarctic ice (DSS/DE08). Resolves ~10 ppm CO₂ wiggles through the last 2,000 years, spliced to Mauna Loa in 1958.

  MacFarling Meure et al., 2006, GRL. NOAA NCEI paleo archive.

• Oceanic Niño Index

  Data

  NOAA CPC 3-month running mean of ERSST Niño-3.4 anomalies. The operational El Niño / La Niña yardstick.

  NOAA CPC ONI, ERSST.

• NSIDC Sea Ice Index v4

  DataPaper

  Monthly sea-ice extent, Arctic and Antarctic, from passive microwave since 1978/79.

  Fetterer et al. — NSIDC G02135 Sea Ice Index, version 4.

• Rutgers northern-hemisphere snow cover

  Data

  NOAA snow charts digitized and continued by the Rutgers Global Snow Lab. Monthly area since 1966.

  Robinson / Rutgers University Global Snow Lab.

• Global mean sea level (two instrument classes)schematic

  DataPaper

  Tide-gauge reconstructions ~1.5–2 mm/yr over the 20th century; altimetry ~3.3 mm/yr since 1993. Traces here are rate-consistent composites, not the official monthly files.

  Church & White-class tide-gauge rate; NASA/NOAA altimeter GMSL rate.

• SILSO sunspot number

  Data

  WDC-SILSO (Royal Observatory of Belgium) monthly sunspot number since 1749.

  SILSO, Royal Observatory of Belgium, Brussels.

• Total solar irradiance (mapped)schematic

  Data

  A Lean-class mapping of the SILSO sunspot number onto TSI units. Schematic, not a satellite composite.

  Derived on this desk from SILSO; amplitude ~0.1% cycle-to-cycle.

• Antarctic ice-core CO₂ composite (800 kyr)

  DataPaper

  Bereiter et al. (2015) composite of Antarctic cores, including EPICA. Glacial–interglacial CO₂ stays ~170–300 ppm.

  Bereiter et al., 2015, Geophysical Research Letters.

• EPICA Dome C deuterium temperature

  DataPaper

  Jouzel et al. (2007) Antarctic temperature anomaly from EPICA Dome C, relative to the last millennium. Polar, not global.

  Jouzel et al., 2007, Science. NOAA NCEI paleo archive.

• LR04 benthic δ¹⁸O stack

  DataPaper

  Lisiecki & Raymo (2005): 57 benthic foraminifera records, 5.3 million years. Higher δ¹⁸O means more ice and/or colder deep water.

  Lisiecki & Raymo, 2005, Paleoceanography.

• ICS International Chronostratigraphic Chart

  DataPaper

  Official IUGS geologic timescale. Units are defined by GSSPs; Ma numbers are calibrations. Colours: CGMW.

  Cohen et al., 2025, Episodes. ICS v2024/12.

• Nikolov & Zeller planetary temperature model

  DataPaper

  Empirical claim: baseline Ts is a function of TSI and surface pressure (RATE), independent of mixing ratios. Later papers assign Earth’s 21st-century trend to CERES albedo decline.

  Nikolov & Zeller, 2017, Environ. Pollut. Climate Change; Nikolov & Zeller, 2024, Atmosphere.

• Wentworth GH6 (GHG-column competitor)

  Data

  A six-parameter enhancement using CO₂, CH₄, and H₂O column densities on the same cold airless baseline. Put here so the six-world fit is not unique to pressure.

  Wentworth, 2021 — climatepuzzles.org reconstruction of N&Z’s NASA table.

• CERES EBAF TOA (albedo / absorbed SW)schematic

  DataPaper

  NASA Langley Earth radiation budget. Official monthly EBAF Ed4.2. This desk uses the published 2000–2023 global albedo decline (−0.79%) plus documented El Niño dips — not the native monthly granule.

  Loeb et al., 2018/2024, J. Climate. DOI 10.5067/TERRA-AQUA-NOAA20/CERES/EBAF-TOA_L3B004.2.

• Global-mean sea-level pressure (mass conservation)schematic

  Data

  Dry-air mass is nearly conserved. The SLP trace here is 1013.25 hPa plus a 0.21 hPa seasonal cycle and ~0 century trend — the instrumental-era test of a pressure-only baseline, not HadSLP2.

  Illustrative; compare with HadSLP2 / NCEP reanalysis global mean.
