The Bureaus expenditure, receipts and average staff usage for 2001-02 are summarised relative to those of previous years in Figure 14 and Figure 15. Figure 14 shows, in cash terms for comparison with historical record, the Section 31 receipts (total $15.607m, including $1.554m for aviation weather services and $0.503m for defence weather services) and Meteorological Services Recoverable (total $13.604m, including $10.890m for aviation weather services and $2.473 for defence weather services). A more detailed breakdown of 2001-02 expenses and revenue in accrual terms is given in Table 2 compared with those for 2000-01 and with the Budget (Appropriation Bill 1) and Budget plus Additional Estimates appropriations for 2001-02 (Appropriation Bills 1 and 3, plus additional revenue from, for example, the sale of goods and services and bank interest). The resources associated with each of the Bureaus major outputs for 2001-02 are summarised in Table 3 and provided in more detail in the following chapters. It should be stressed that the more detailed breakdown provided by output in Tables 4, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 do not represent audited accounts but are included to indicate the allocation of Bureau resources to outputs. Because of the highly integrated nature of Bureau operations, there is some subjectivity in the attribution of staff and resource usage across outputs. This is especially so in the accounting of those crosscutting and corporate activities, which for reasons of overall cost efficiency are managed or coordinated centrally. An analysis of the Bureaus overall staff profile is given in Appendix 9 and an estimated breakdown of the cross-cutting and corporate overhead component of expenses and staff usage is given in Appendix 10. ![]() Figure 14. Bureau of Meteorology expenditure from 1974-75 to 2001-02 ($million) in cash terms. Expenditure since 1986-87 includes a number of items (totalling approximately $26 million in 2001- 02) which were not met from Bureau appropriations in earlier years. The decrease in Meteorological Services Recoverable from 1992-93 was a result of the reduction of the incremental resources committed to the provision of meteorological services to civil and defence aviation. ![]() Figure 15. Appropriation funded Bureau staffing (Average Staffing Level (ASL) excluding Section 31 funded staff and corrected for changes of function prior to 1985) from 1974-75 to 2001-02. From 1987-88 to 1990-91, the decrease in ASL due to the efficiency dividend and other Service-wide staff reduction measures was partially offset by additional staff provided for re-equipment and upgrading of severe weather and flood warning services. These were integrated into ongoing operations from 1991- 92. Following the 1996 (Slatyer I) Review of the Operations of the Bureau of Meteorology, additional staff coverage was provided through the 1996-97 Budget and continued through the 1999-2000 Budget initiative on Providing World Class Weather Forecasting.

*The operating result (Total Revenue less Total Expense) provides funds required to pay the Capital Use Charge as a
dividend from Equity on the Balance Sheet. The Bureaus dividend is some $20m per annum. Table 3. Bureau of Meteorology expenses and revenue ($000) and staff level for 2001-02 by Major Output and Output Group.
