Global Warming Case Study
Excel Spreadsheet Files of Climate Data
The file names listed below provide links to downloadable Excel(R) spreadsheet files of climate data compiled to support Blue Planet's case study entitled "Global Warming - the forest from the trees". The files can be downloaded, used and modified by teachers and students, but for a full explanation of the contents of each file please consult the Case Study and its Appendices.
Each file contains climate data, and most also contain one or more graphs of the data, derived from particular identified weather stations that form part of the network maintained by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BOM). The data has been compiled with the permission of the BOM from it's website at http://www.bom.gov.au/ which is the primary source of the data; however, BluePlanet, not the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, takes sole responsibility for the particular data compilation and analyses presented in these files.
