Brisbane CO2 for 18 August 2023

/ Latest Data / By

The city centre site at Petrie Terrace has a communication problem, so Friday’s data is available for only for Chapel Hill and Bellbird Park.  [UPDATE: We have retrieved the missing data, and have replaced the graphs to show all three sites]. Friday saw a very notable change from the typical pattern, with large drops across the day, almost certainly associated with the high winds cleaning out accumulated emissions.  The third chart illustrates this unusual pattern for Chapel Hill, by also showing the +1 to -1 standard deviation band for the last 21 days. At sunrise (when winds typically pick up), the CO2 concentration fell rapidly from an above average level to well below normal values, and the gap between yesterday’s levels and typical values continued to widen throughout the afternoon and evening.

 

Daily Averages – Phase 2 (See explanation of differences between Phase 1 and Phase 2 data)

For reference, latest monthly average (July 2023) from CSIRO for Kennaook/Cape Grim in NW Tasmania was 416.6 ppm. (Note – these are provisional values, subject to revision folllowing sensor re-calibrations and other checks.)
