Figure 1. Time series of global monthly anomalies of 2-meter air temperature (top) and TPW (bottom) derived from ERA5 analyses. The straight lines are the linear trends derived from the monthly anomalies. Anomalies and trends are shown for global means based on 1:30 am/1:30 pm local time data only (red) and all hourly data (black). The anomalies and trends for both data sets are so similar that the black curves are almost obscured by the red curves. Computed annual trend values for both 24-hour and 1:30 am/pm data are shown in blue and red, respectively.
