Annual mean temperature series for Cape Otway, Victoria
Figure 37. Annual mean temperature series at Cape Otway, Victoria showing the differences between temperatures in the early part of the record, measured using a Glashier stand, and temperatures measured using the current standard instrument shelter, a Stevenson screen. Once the data are corrected for this bias, as shown by the red line, the overall trend tells a remarkably different story. Gaps in the record have also been filled by estimating values from comparisons with highly-correlated neighbouring station records.
