Notes:  Estimates are calculated relative to a 1958-1977 reference period mean. Zonal regions are defined as follows: Northern Hemisphere (equator - 90 N); Southern Hemisphere (equator - 90 S); Tropical (30 S - 30 N); South Polar (90 S - 60 S); South Temperate (60 S - 30 S); South Subtropical (30 S - 10 S); Equator (10 N - 10 S); North Subtropical (10 N - 30 N); North Temperate (30 N - 60 N); and North Polar (60 N - 90 N).
