Over the past few weeks I’ve been working on a visualization of a data set released by the Gaurdian Data Blog. The data set tracks global average change in temperature from 1850 to 2009 using the temperature from the years 1961-1990 as a reference point.
The data provided below charts the world’s changing temperature since 1850. The figures, which are maintained by the UK Met Office’s Hadley Centre, describe the temperature “anomaly” (the difference) between the year in question and the reference period of 1961–1990.
I’m not finished with the visualization yet but wanted to get some screen shots up while I continue to refine and iterate on the design. If you have any thoughts please share.
Once I’m finished with this I’ll post the Processing source code.
