- Anomalies
-
Anomalies
denote the departure of an element
from its long-period average value for the
location concerned. For example, if the
maximum temperature for June in Melbourne was
1 degree Celsius higher than the
long-term average for this month,
the anomaly would be +1 degrees Celsius.
The current international standard is to use the 30 year average
from 1961 to 1990 as the long-term average.
