Cape Bowling Green Automatic Weather Station (North Queensland)

This dataset contains meteorological data from the weather station located on Cape Bowling Green in north Queensland which has been automatically loaded since 31 July 1987.\n\nHistorical records for the period 9-7-1983 to 4-10-1985 have been retrospectively added to the dataset from a former Cape Bowling Green outstation (at the same location) after conversion from the original Fortran files. Note that there is a break in this middle of this data series as the outstation source was moved to Cape Ferguson (AIMS Wharf) and collected data there for the period 1-11-1983 to 30-5-1984. These historic data were collected using telemetery to send binary data daily to a computer controlled base station. Data were verified by comparing three sets of the same data, received over three days. The base station passed data to the central computing facility at AIMS for processing. Lightning destroyed this system in 1985.\n\nData recorded: Barometric Pressure, Air Temperature, Solar Radiation (PAR), Wind Direction True (vector averaged), Wind Speed True (30 min average).

本数据集收录了坐落于昆士兰州北部鲍灵格林角（Cape Bowling Green）的气象站自1987年7月31日起自动采集的气象数据。

1983年7月9日至1985年10月4日期间的历史观测记录，已通过对原鲍灵格林角分站（同址）的原始Fortran文件进行格式转换后，回溯补入本数据集。需注意，本数据序列中段存在数据断点：原分站数据源曾迁至弗格森角（AIMS码头，Cape Ferguson (AIMS Wharf)），并于1983年11月1日至1984年5月30日期间在此开展数据采集工作。上述历史数据通过遥测技术每日将二进制数据传输至计算机管控的基站完成采集；研究人员通过比对三日接收的三套相同数据，完成了数据核验工作。基站将数据传输至AIMS中央计算设施进行处理，1985年该系统遭雷击损毁。

本数据集涵盖的观测指标如下：气压、气温、太阳辐射（光合有效辐射，PAR）、真风向（矢量平均法）、真风速（30分钟平均值）。
