    This GSWA Pingaring potassium grid geodetic is an airborne-derived radiometric potassium window countrate grid for the Pingaring, WA,1993 survey. The radiometric, or gamma-ray spectrometric method, measures the natural variations in the gamma-rays detected near the Earth's surface as the result of the natural radioactive decay of potassium (K), uranium (U) and thorium (Th). The data collected are processed via standard methods to ensure the response recorded is that due only to the rocks in the ground. The results produce datasets that can be interpreted to reveal the geological structure of the sub-surface. The processed data is checked for quality by GA geophysicists to ensure that the final data released by GA are fit-for-purpose. This GSWA Pingaring potassium grid geodetic radiometric potassium window countrate grid has a cell size of 0.00083 degrees (approximately 85m). The data are in units of counts per second (cps). The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 1993 by the WA Government, and consisted of 7622 line-kilometres of data at 400m line spacing and 60m terrain clearance.

  • This study has examined the observed record of peak gust wind speed (daily maximum 3-second averaged gust wind speed) in order to establish the existence of bias between the early part of the record (measurements obtained using pressure-tube Dines anemometers) and the later part of the record (measurements obtained using cup anemometers). All observational data as well as metadata was obtained from the Bureau of Meteorology. The 38 recording stations considered were in the most part staffed by Bureau of Meteorology officers. To isolate the issue of anemometer replacement, only observing stations located at airports (i.e. those with consistent exposure) and with more than 30 years of record were considered. The visual inspection of the observed daily peak gust wind speed time-series for most of the Bureau of Meteorology observing sites considered in this study is sufficient to indicate that in general the early part of the observing record contains a higher frequency of extreme events, and also the largest amplitude extreme events. Statistical analysis of the daily maximum gust wind speed observations was conducted by employing extreme value distributions (EVD) to examine the difference between two datasets: (1) time-series of Dines & cup anemometer observations (no overlap for each station) (2) coincident Dines & cup anemometer observations
