GISS Surface Temperature Analysis
Sources
Source code and documentation for GISTEMP software is available here. The programs are intended for installation and use on a computer with a Unix-like operating system.
- Download GISTEMP_sources.tar.gz.
This archive is approximately 2.2 MB. Updates to the code and to the archive are noted, when they occur, in the updates to analysis.
Once you have gunzipped and de-tarred the archive, you will have a directory containing a text version of the documentation and several sub-directories, the latter each named STEP*. Please read the documentation and follow the instructions to go through the steps of the analysis, proceeding through each subdirectory.
The subdirectories contain software which you will need to compile, and in some cases install at particular locations on your computer. These include FORTRAN programs and C extensions to Python programs. Some Python programs make use of Berkeley DB files.
We also make available the night light satellite data (about 8.3 MB) we obtained from Marc L. Imhoff and that we used to determine the brightness index for the various weather stations.
