According to NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), the year 1998 recorded the highest global mean surface temperature anomaly since 1880, which is the baseline year for their temperature analysis. The anomaly was 0.88 degrees Celsius above the 1951-1980 average. While 2016 has surpassed the temperature records of 1998, this question specifically asks for land surface temperature, and the 1998 record still stands for that category.
