Data:   CAMS surface air temperature anomaly  (deg. C) on a 2.0 x 2.0 deg. lat/lon grid Base Period for Climatology:  1971-2000 Data Source:  NCEP, Climate Prediction Center Description:  The surface air temperature anomalies shown are based on station observations over land and satellite data over oceans.  Contours drawn at +/- 1 deg. C intervals.  "CAMS" is an acronym for the "Climate Anomaly Monitoring System" in use at the Climate Prediction Center (CPC) at the US NationalCenters for Environmental Prediction (NCEP).
