This document presents two estimates of global and hemispheric annual temperature anomalies, relative to a 1950--79 reference period, for 1861--1988. In one set of estimates the influence of El Ni{tilde n}o/Southern Oscillation (ENSO)-related events are considered. Both estimates are based on corrected land and marine data. These data are available free of charge as a numeric data package (NDP) from the Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center. The NDP consists of this document and a magnetic tape or floppy diskette containing machine-readable data files. This document provides tabular listings of the annual temperature anomalies, describes how the data were processed, defines limitations and restrictions of the data, and provides reprints of pertinent literature. 13 refs., 2 figs., 2 tabs.
