BillinOz has prompted me to go back and check this site in Tasmania which I had overlooked. Tony Heller noticed some strange temperatures here.
Please refer back to my first post for site specifications.
Station: Warra 97024
Opened: 2004
Daily Temperature data from: 2004
Data used to adjust Acorn sites at: —
Location: Co-ordinates -43.0609 146.7040
About 50km south-west of Hobart.
(The screen is in the small red circle.)
A wider view:
Warra is in an area of forest that has been clear-felled for timber. There are bare patches of ground, stumps and logs, and areas of rapidly growing regrowth. The area surrounding this station is always changing, and the high temperatures Tony Heller found may possibly have been due to burning off. The BOM plans from 2004, 2011, and 2014 show how the eucalypt saplings have grown (and compare with the 2016 heights of 3-4 metres):
From 1-2m to 4-7m in 10 years. Gum tree saplings love a clearing caused by cutting or fire. Apart from the gravel road right beside the screen, the site has been changing over the past 15 years, and in any case saplings “<3m” inside the 20 metre rings are hardly vegetation trimmed to a few centimetres.
This station is not compliant, with temperatures reported at Latest Weather Observations but not used to adjust data at Acorn sites.
