COOP Cooperative Observer Program. Introduction: The National Weather Service's (NWS) Cooperative Observer Program (COOP) is the nation's largest and oldest weather network. It was established in 1891 to formalize the collection of meteorological observations and establish/record climate conditions in the United States. Our nation has a long history of weather observations.

Oldest Antarctic Ice Core Reveals Climate History The core from Dome C, high on East Antarctica's plateau, contains snowfall from the last 740,000 years and is by far the oldest continuous climate record obtained from ice cores so far. The ice has been collected in an eight year project by scientists and engineers from 10 European countries.

UCAR Home About Us News Research+Resources Education For StaffUCAR - University Corporation for Atmospheric Research Climate scientists prefer to combine short-term weather records into long-term periods (typically 30 years) when they analyze climate, including global averages. Today's global temperature is typically measured by how it compares to one of these past long-term periods. For example, the average annual temperature for the globe between 1951 and 1980 was around 57.2 degrees Fahrenheit (14 degrees Celsius). In 2015, the hottest year on record, the temperature was about 1.8 degrees F (1 degree C) warmer than the 1951–1980 base period.

What year did the National Weather Service start keeping records? Best Answer: The earliest government weather records were kept for the Army Surgeon General at Army posts starting in 1814. In the late 1840s, the Smithsonian began tracking weather reports sent by telegraph from a national network of observers. In 1870, the Army Signal Corp began a true National weather observation network.

NOAA: July hottest month on record, and 2015 could be hottest year July saw the highest average temperatures since record-keeping began -- globally, not just in the United States -- the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reported Thursday. Globally, the first seven months of the year also had all-time highs. The latest global temperature data make it likely that 2015 will be the hottest year on record, the agency said. NOAA's findings follow reports by NASA and the Japan Meteorological Agency, which reached the same conclusion using their own data.

List of weather records These temperatures have never been confirmed, and are not recognized as world records. The former highest official temperature on Earth, held for 90 years by ‘Aziziya, Libya, was de-certified by the WMO (World Meteorological Organization) in January 2012 as the record for the world's highest surface temperature.

FactCheck: was the 1896 heatwave wiped from the record? The FactCheck is correct that high temperatures have not been “wiped” from the Bureau of Meteorology’s temperature record. Temperature measurements taken before the official climate record starts in 1910 are excluded because they are of dubious quality.

Earth Sets a Temperature Record for the Third Straight Year Since 1880, NOAA’s records show only one other instance when global temperature records were set three years in a row: in 1939, 1940 and 1941. The Earth has warmed so much in recent decades, however, that 1941 now ranks as only the 37th-warmest year on record. Short Answers to Hard Questions About Climate Change
