ACORN-SAT comparison

The list below contains the 112 ACORN-SAT locations with the associated Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) station ID numbers. Each entry in the list also contains links to two figures in which minimum and maximum temperature data are displayed.

Each figure contains annual mean temperature series, including the raw ADAM (CDO) data (derived from the monthly mean temperatures available from the BoM CDO portal), and the ACORN-SAT data (derived from the daily values available from the BoM long-term temperature record).

For the raw series, each annual mean value is calculated as the average of twelve months for the relevant calendar year. If one month is missing, the calendar year is excluded from the series.

For the ACORN-SAT series, the monthly averages are first calculated from daily values (following the BoM method: “If more than 10 days of data are missing in a given month, that monthly average is deemed to be missing”), and then the annual mean is calculated in the same way as for the raw series discussed above.

For each temperature series spanning 10 years or more, a least-squares regression line is shown with the associated rate of warming or cooling (degrees Celsius over a century) indicated. Each figure also shows whether ACORN-SAT V2 indicates an increased or decreased rate of warming in comparison with ACORN-SAT V1.
