What the expert says..
The market goes off NASA’s GISTEMP Surface Temperature Analysis
NASA's GISTEMP Surface Temperature Analysis gives the temperature based on the land-ocean reading that is given on the climate.nasa.gov site.
NASA's website says, "NASA's full dataset of global surface temperatures through 2022, as well as full details with code of how NASA scientists conducted the analysis, are publicly available from GISS.
GISS is a NASA laboratory managed by the Earth Sciences Division of the agency's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. The laboratory is affiliated with Columbia University's Earth Institute and School of Engineering and Applied Science in New York."
