Technical Advisory Forum report into the Australian Bureau of Meteorology ACORN temperature data uses charts from data not available to the public

These charts from the TAF pdf report are not from public data I am aware of.

Can anybody assist with a URL to download the data used to construct these charts?

Thanks very much.

  1. Sorry Warwick I am only able to show why old AWAP temperatures need to be adjusted up way more in the past than they have been.
    Here is an example.
    In December 1931 two heatwaves hit the Eucla/Cook Nullabour area thanks to a near stationary anticyclone bringing heat down from the North over the whole area. The CDO data is only monthly so hides them amongst cooler days. Then Acorn deletes some hot days while adjusting others up. Thus it looks like ACORN warmed the past but it is not enough because AWAP was way more wrong.
    Check December on CDO it is a little cooler than AWAP monthy max, highest max and daily max. Then ACORN is a bit warmer on wrong days and deletes many.
    Here are the two of the days in question according to the 1931 “Divisional meteorologist”.

    Easy to see that 42.8 is warmer than all of the modern hallucinations.
