Analysis of Historical Temperature Data of Victoria Analysis of historical temperature data of Victoria J.D. Vlok University of Tasmania School of Engineering 2017/04/13 Last update: 2017/07/25 http://eprints.utas.edu.au/23461/ [email protected] © 2017 UTAS Abstract Raw temperature data collected and made available online by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology are analysed in this report. The monthly mean maximum and minimum temperature series available for the state of Victoria are studied and historical temperature patterns from 1910 { 2016 are presented. It is shown that a high degree of synchrony exists between the temperature measurements across the state, including both the maximum and minimum temperature series. An average temperature trend for Victoria is also calculated by simply combining all the available raw measurements, and comparisons are made with other temperature series, including the ACORN-SAT record. This report forms part of a larger study where the aim is to reconstruct historical temperature trends for any given area where sufficient raw temperature data are available.

Over the last 160 years, a to- tal of nearly 1900 weather stations have contributed to the historical Australian weather record which is publicly available at the online BOM archive [1]. The weather station network has however continuously changed over its history as old stations were closed or moved and new ones were opened. Human activity has also influenced measurements as landscapes have changed, cities expanded, and measuring equipment and standards were updated. Different approaches are followed to reconstruct historical weather records in an attempt to understand climate patterns, to evaluate the effect of human activity, and to make pre- dictions. The study presented here focuses on the raw BOM climate data online (CDO) temperature record for the state of Victoria. Monthly mean temperature records available from the online archive are used here to analyse trends and patterns without perform- ing any interpolation or changes to the raw data. Some comparison to other records, including the Australian climate observations reference network - surface air temperature (ACORN-SAT) dataset are also made. CDO temperature records originating

  • “Hottest Year on Record” in Australia
    ALBERT PARKER, CLIFFORD D. OLLIER QUAESTIONES GEOGRAPHICAE 36(1) • 2017 POLEMIC PAPER1 DISCUSSION OF THE “HOTTEST YEAR ON RECORD” IN AUSTRALIA ALBERT PARKER1, CLIFFORD D. OLLIER2 1School of Engineering and Physical Science, James Cook University, Townsville, Australia 2School of Earth and Environment, The University of Western Australia, Crawley, Australia Manuscript received: October 11, 2016 Revised version: February 03, 2017 PARKER, A., OLLIER, C.D., 2017. Discussion of the “hottest year on record” in Australia. Quaestiones Geographicae 36(1), Bogucki Wydawnictwo Naukowe, Poznań, pp. 79–91, 7 figs, 1 table. ABSTRACT: The global temperature trends provided by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology are artificially exaggerated due to subjective and unidirectional adjustments of recorded values. The present paper aims to promote the use of the raw stations’ data corrected only for urban heat island formation. The longer temperature records of Australia exhibit significant oscillations with a strong quasi-60 years’ signature of downward phases 1880 to 1910, 1940 to 1970 and 2000 to present, and upwards phases 1910 to 1940 and 1970 to 2000. A longer oscillation with downward phase until 1910 and an upwards phase afterwards is also detected. The warming since 1910 occurred at a nearly constant rate. Over the full length of the long Australian records since the end of the 1800s, there is no sign of warming or increased occur- rence of extreme events. The monthly highest and mean maximum temperatures do not exhibit any positive trend. The differences between monthly highest and lowest, or monthly mean maximum and mean minimum temperatures, are all reducing because of urban heat island formation.

  • Special Climate Statement 43
    SPECIAL CLIMATE STATEMENT 43 Extreme January heat Last update 7 January, 2013 Climate Information Services Bureau of Meteorology Note: This statement is based on data available as of 7 January 2013 which may be subject to change as a result of standard quality control procedures. Introduction Large parts of central and southern Australia are currently under the influence of a persistent and widespread heatwave event. This event is ongoing with further significant records likely to be set. Further updates of this statement and associated significant observations will be made as they occur, and a full and comprehensive report on this significant climatic event will be made when the current event ends. The last four months of 2012 were abnormally hot across Australia, and particularly so for maximum (day-time) temperatures. For September to December (i.e. the last four months of 2012) the average Australian maximum temperature was the highest on record with a national anomaly of +1.61 °C, slightly ahead of the previous record of 1.60 °C set in 2002 (national records go back to 1910). In this context the current heatwave event extends a four month spell of record hot conditions affecting Australia. These hot conditions have been exacerbated by very dry conditions affecting much of Australia since mid 2012 and a delayed start to a weak Australian monsoon. The start of the current heatwave event traces back to late December 2012, and all states and territories have seen unusually hot temperatures with many site records approached or exceeded across southern and central Australia. A full list of records broken at stations with long records (>30 years) is given below.

I Mathieson Pty Ltd during 1995 and 1996 to provide advice on the areas considered most suitable for urban I development to accommodate Geelong's expected growth up until the year 2020. On the most optimistic population I projections available, the consultants have catered for an I additional 71,000 persons or some 26,000 households. I In undertaking their work, the consultants have had the benefit of many background reports and information I . produceq over past years by the (former) Geelong ' . Regional Commission, together with more recent planning I studies undertaken either by or on behalf of Council (e.g. I North Eastern Area Strategic Land· Use Plan, Mt Duneed Armstrong Creek Urban Development rstudy; Residential I Lot Supply Report and Inventory of Industrial Lots). I The Urban Growth Strategy was· ·exhibited: for a 4 month period during 1996 at which time wide publicity was given I of its availability including an invitation for interested or I affected persons to make a submission. Preparation of this Strategy and its exhibition was also coordinated with I Council's Arterial Roads Study.
