SHEFFIELD, UK – AUGUST 12, 2017. A cosplayer dressed as The Joker from the Batman The Dark Night movie at a comic con event in Sheffield, UK.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I gave a talk yesterday, over Zoom , as you do nowadays, explaining that the Australian Bureau of Meteorology don\u2019t really know how to measure temperatures anymore, so they take the recordings they have, and remodel them until it looks like how they think it should. That is then republished as an annual assessment of climate variability and change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The assessment is published at the beginning of each year and advertised as an update, but the Bureau don\u2019t always include the most relevant numbers \u2013 if they don\u2019t feel like it. That might sound outrageous, and it is. But then again, the Bureau does what it wants to do. That has been the case since at least November 1996, when the transition began away from measuring temperatures using traditional liquid-in-glass thermometers which are mercury for maximum temperatures and alcohol for minimum temperatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meteorologists often refer to the average temperature, but it would be misleading to think this is the average of all the temperatures measured say every hour over a day, or a month, or a year. Rather it is the highest temperature, and the lowest temperature as measured each day. These two extreme values are added together giving the daily mean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before November 1996, when most official maximum temperatures were measured with a mercury thermometer, the highest temperature was less extreme than it is now. This is because mercury in a glass tube, which is the essence of a mercury thermometer, takes some time to adjust to air temperature, so there is an amount of inertia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nowadays, the Bureau takes temperature readings every one second from what are called resistance probes and the very hottest of these instantaneous values is designated the maximum temperature for that day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is actually slightly more complicated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you will indulge my interest in all things technical \u2013 and concentrate intensely on what I write for just a moment or at least slightly longer than it took a probe to record the maximum temperature at the airport in Cordoba, Spain, a couple of weeks ago \u2013 a new record maximum for Spain for April. That was the media headline. What was not explained, because it spoils the story somewhat, and because people have trouble concentrating on detail, is that the temperature was recorded at an airport with the probe located between the runway tarmac and the taxiing apron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the olden days, maximum temperatures were recorded from places like botanical gardens by astronomers who sometimes also kept their telescopes there. They were fascinated with the natural environment and continually looking for new ways to measure it. Nowadays, it is the case that airports are the primary site across the world for recording temperatures, that are reported by meteorologists, often on the nightly news, with yet another record-breaking hot day more likely to increase viewer engagement. So, it is at the end of the day, month, and year that the weather report is analysed in terms of increased traffic volume metrics (for example clicks) rather than the meteorologist\u2019s skill at predicting, for example, how much rain or snow actually fell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This relatively new imperative is aided by not only having the probes at airports, where more frequent take offs and landings by ever more powerful jet engines, will continually increase the likelihood of a blast of hot air being recorded as the hottest day ever, but also by all the electrical noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For sure, I need to explain how this works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A mercury thermometer is completely impervious to the beat of airport radar that may move across the tarmac every 30-40 seconds. Not so, what are referred to as \u2018low noise\u2019 amplifiers attempting to precisely measure the change in resistance of the platinum electrodes in the resistance probe: that is how the probes measures temperature. These electrodes may not only be energised every time the radar sweeps over them, but also by the chatter from a pilot in the airport\u2019s control tower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an analogue engineer recently explained to me, because of all the radio interference at airports, it is not really a place to be recording temperatures with resistance probes. Yet this is exactly where most of these temperature recording devices are now located \u2013 and not just in Australia, but across the world. So, the average global mean temperature may not only include the blast from a jet plane landing at Cordoba, Spain, but also the chatter from pilots and the control tower because temperature is now primarily measured as changes in electrical current and at airports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, those measuring temperatures using these probes at airports would be working hard to exclude radio frequencies (RF) getting into the input of the receiving amplifier and causing random errors. At least one would hope so \u2013 unless they are jokers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The real test of this is seeing how the readings from a mercury thermometer compare with readings from these resistance probes at airports \u2013 around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The original Joker was of course the arch-criminal obsessed with absurdity and joke-based crimes: clown-like in appearance and personality, a master of intrigue and escape. And, so, I was pondering the number of times the Australian Bureau of Meteorology has escaped having to show the parallel data for my hometown of Brisbane \u2013 or any of its many other airport sites \u2013 despite multiple reviews, reports, advisory panels, and peer-reviewed studies rejecting claims that its temperature record is biased or flawed. Here I am quoting directly from the The Guardian on Sunday, an article by Graham Readfearn in which he seems to delight, perhaps as the joker\u2019s sidekick, about how many times any proper review of these measurements has been rebuked, including a proposal by Senator Cory Bernardi, that there be some oversight by the National Audit Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather than show even Bill Johnston a limited amount of parallel data for Canberra airport back in 2014, when he made a Freedom of Information request, the Bureau destroyed it, or so the story goes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the \u2018Batman and Robin\u2019 episodes I watched as a child on an old black and white television, the Joker was ever elusive and in the most imaginative ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Abbot, who like Johnston has made FOI requests for parallel temperature data from airports, wrote in The Australian newspaper \u2013 at about the time the new record hot temperature was being recorded from Cordoba airport in Spain \u2013 explaining how rather than provide some parallel data for Brisbane airport, the Bureau falsely claimed the data never existed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, a relatively small amount of the data that the jokers claimed did not exist was eventually provided to Abbot, by the same jokers just before Easter. That was on Thursday 6th April when the jokers sent Abbot 36 separate emails to which were variously attached a jumble of scans of over 1,000 handwritten reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As though anyone expects to receive scans of over 1,000 hand-written reports across 36 emails when they are told they will eventually be provided with parallel data for Brisbane airport for the three years August 2019 to July 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abbot immediate onforwarded the mess to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is an extract from the Brisbane Airport Field Book. Temperatures as shown were recorded on 1st August 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will continue this story as part of a series I\u2019m calling \u2018Jokers, Off-Topic Reviews and Drinking from the Alcohol Thermometer\u2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the topic of alcohol following is how many times the Bureau has changed the alcohol thermometer measuring minimum temperatures at Brisbane Airport over the last two decades. One thermometer used to last 100 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

END NOTES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notes, and links, to some more of the topics mentioned above and much thanks to energy economist Alan Moran for organising the Zoom, and I will forward my notes in due course to you for the coal miners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. I confirmed on 3rd March 2021, that the Australian Bureau of Meteorology admitted, as I surmised in a blog post on 10th February, that the reference value for 2021 was not actually included in its calculation of the amount of warming as published in the 2021 Annual Climate Statement, more here; https:\/\/jennifermarohasy.com\/2022\/03\/australias-broken-temperature-record-part-3\/<\/a>
In short, we have a 2021 Annual Climate Statement that does not include the new 2021 value in its calculations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Paul Homewood sent me an email about the new hot day in Spain, and his email linked to a BBC article that you can read here: https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/science-environment-65403381<\/a> . Homewood has a website and you can sign up for his emails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. I was so disappointed that Graham Readfearn got his article published last Sunday in The Guardian, quoting Ailie Gallant from Monash University. https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/science\/2023\/may\/07\/climate-scientists-first-laughed-at-a-bizarre-campaign-against-the-bom-then-came-the-harassment#:~:text=For%20more%20than%20a,Bureau%20of%20Meteorology%27s%20temperature%20records<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. It is the case that John Abbot had some detail of the history of his interactions with the Bureau published by THE AUSTRALIAN and then republished by the Institute of Public Affairs:
