EFE | ÚN.- This Friday at the annual report released by NASA and Administration Oceans and Atmosphere US (NOAA, for its acronym in English) during 2014 the average temperature of the highest planet in 135 years

recorded. As reported EFE, the temperature of the Earth was 0.69 degrees Celsius above the average recorded during the XX , which is 13.9 degrees Celsius century, according to the study.

Also stressed that the new data exceed the previously marked records in 2005 and 2010, when the temperature rose 0.04 degrees.

According to scientists, these data, the average global temperature falls thirty-eighth consecutive time since 1977 over the measure.

The scientists stress that, since 1880, when records began, the warmest 20 years took place precisely in the last 20 years and especially highlight the rising temperatures in the XXI century because nine of the ten years with warmer temperatures occurred during the new century.

In 2014, heated ocean as never before, increasing its temperature by 0.57 degrees Celsius above the middle of the twentieth century, surpassing previous record temperatures in 1988 and 2003, when the ocean warmed 0.05 degrees Celsius.

The surface temperature of the Earth also increased, in particular, one degree above the average of the twentieth century, making these data in the highest quarters in 135 years.

In addition, 2014 was for Iceland, UK, France, Sweden, Germany, Austria and Switzerland the warmest year since weather records began their state, while as for Spain, Denmark and Finland 2014 was the second warmest year.

The average annual snow that covered northern hemisphere during 2014 was 64.5 million square kilometers , and the scientists point out that the snow cover was below average in the first half, but then increased considerably.
respect to ice in the Arctic specify that the average size was frozen 28.46 kilometers squares, fewer in the sixth 36, but against this, Antarctica 33.87 square kilometers were covered by ice data were a record for the second consecutive year extension.

Another significant finding was the rainfall in South America: the report indicates that rainfall in some central and northern Argentina zones in December 2014 were twice the monthly average.

The document highlights that six months of 2014 (May, June, August, September, October and December) were the warmest in 135 years, while April this year was the second month Warmer temperatures since records.

To find the last month of December so warm must go back to 2006, when the temperature rose 0.02 degrees Celsius above the average.

Especially striking was the reduction in ice cover in the northern hemisphere during the winter month, which was 4.1 percent lower than the average recorded between 1981 and 2010.

Every year, NOAA and NASA distribute a compilation report with data on temperature, precipitation, snow or ice to measure changes of climate on Earth, which this year broke all records in heat.
