I have pondered many ways of representing this data that would be of interest to everyone, then filed it in the too hard basket. Recently, I caught up with an old friend and asked if he would be interested in taking a look at the data. His response was enthusiastic to say the least. Ian is a freshwater ecologist and featured in a story on Catalyst back in 2008 about the heavy metal contamination of the Grose River. Check out the story here.
This is the first of many charts that Ian will be producing starting with the monthly averages for 1994. As you will notice, it is much warmer offshore compared to what the idiots have to endure.
