Table 2.
Results from the comparison between station, instrumental and model data. Pre-industrial control (piControl) model data represent an average from resampling the data over 100 random 50-year sections to represent the same length of the CRU time series. The trend and total warming are calculated for the 50-year period represented by all datasets (1961–2010)
