Historic temperature data in New York/Greenwich on small and large time scales

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on obtaining historic temperature data for New York and estimates for the last billion years. For recent data, NOAA's Climate at a Glance tool provides comprehensive records for the past decade. For long-term temperature records, a Wikipedia page offers estimates going back approximately 500 million years. Dana L. Royer's research on radiative forcing during the Phanerozoic is cited as a reference for ancient climate data, although reliable sources for the last billion years are limited.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with NOAA's Climate at a Glance tool
  • Understanding of paleoclimate research and methodologies
  • Knowledge of radiative forcing concepts
  • Basic navigation skills for online archival resources
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore NOAA's Climate at a Glance for recent temperature data
  • Research paleoclimate data sources on Wikipedia for long-term estimates
  • Study Dana L. Royer's work on CO2-forced climate thresholds
  • Investigate online archives for historical climate data
USEFUL FOR

Climate researchers, hobbyists interested in historical climate data, and anyone studying the impacts of climate change over geological time scales.

Hey, I'm interested in temperature recordings for the last 10 years but also for an estimate in the last billion years, this for hobby and fun. There are a lot of public sources but problem is many sites are torn down and others are created, so I feel very in the wild, it's like finding a tree in a forest.
Which site, which credentials exist at : 2019/02/20 :)
Thanks for any direction.

that should be easy with archived recordings from the local MET office

probably impossible for anything more than 150 - 200 years into the past

last billion years,

Dana L. Royer did an estimation of the radiative forcing during the Phanerozoic in "CO2-forced climate thresholds during the Phanerozoic". Besides this I don't know something going even before this.

I cannot speak to the billion years, but the last decade of New York, is covered fairly well by
NOAA's climate at a glance.

For the long-term temperature record, this Wikipedia page is a good place to start. It has estimates on several different time scales, although it only goes back a half billion years.

CO2 levels too if you are interested in the correlation
