HadCRUT

HadCRUT is a global temperature record that tracks how Earth's surface temperature has changed over time. It combines measurements from weather stations, ships, and satellites to provide a comprehensive picture of climate trends. Developed by the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia and the UK's Met Office, it helps scientists understand patterns and shifts in climate, particularly global warming. By analyzing HadCRUT data, researchers can identify periods of warming or cooling, assess climate change impacts, and inform policy decisions aimed at addressing environmental challenges.
