2016 SoE Antarctic environment 5-year-smoothed annual minimum and maximum temperatures by station, 1948 to 2013

Annual average daily maximum (max) and minimum (min) temperatures, smoothed with a 5-year running mean, for Australia’s Antarctic stations of Casey, Davis (from 1957) and Mawson (from 1954), and subantarctic Macquarie Island (from 1948). The record for Casey comprises measurements at Wilkes (February 1960 – January 1969), Casey Tunnel (February 1969 – December 1988) and the present Casey station (from January 1989).
