DCENT‐I: A Globally Infilled Extension of the Dynamically Consistent ENsemble of Temperature Dataset
DCENT-I infills data gaps in DCENT, producing spatially coherent temperature fields (top) and a slightly higher GMST warming estimate (bottom). Top: December 1877 temperature anomalies (°C; 1961–1990...

DCENT shows slow and steady warming up until the late 1940s, only for global (aerosol) dimming to kick in, which turns into global brightening at the beginning of the 1970s. Strong (linear) warming since. Note that current warming trend in DCENT is a tad lower due to gaps in polar regions.

DCENT-I is a globally complete version of DCENT, the result of a major research effort led by Dr Duo Chan: starting as a PhD student at Harvard, continuing at WHOI, and now at the University of Southampton. DCENT adds to the ensemble of global surface temperature estimates.

2025 tied with 2023 as the second warmest surface temperatures. It was nominally the second warmest in NASA and DCENT datasets, and third warmest in NOAA, Hadley, Berkeley, Copernicus, JRA-3Q, and China-MST. In all cases uncertainties overlap with 2023.

Some of the newer datasets like DCENT arguably better account for measurement changes and show less warming – such that the combination of human and natural forcings more or less fully explain observed warming without the need for multidecadal natural variability.

We are including a number of additional surface temperature datasets, including DCENT (out of Harvard), the Japanese JRA-3Q reanalysis product, and the China-MST dataset. Here are the values for each, both as reported and using a common preindustrial baseline:

Thanks! Here it is relative to "preindustrial" (1850-1900).
(since ERA5 does not go back that far, I used the difference between 1850-1900 and 1940-1969 from DCENT as an offset, i.e., ~0.25°C)

Most 2025 global temperatures are now out (degrees C above 1850-1900 baseline)

1.46 JRA-3Q
1.47 Copernicus
1.53 DCENT-I
NOAA and NASA GISS values will be public at 2pm UK time and but based on already public Jan-Nov data they will likely be between 1.3 and 1.4 degC.

DCENT-I is a fairly new dataset and you can learn more about how it is constructed here: github.com/dcent-i
It shows slightly greater warming since 1850 than the other estimates, but all the global averages agree within their uncertainty ranges.
