2000 2002 Present (Synoptic) SST and Anomaly from FNMOC OTIS Model: 1. Parameter/Measurement. This dataset consists of the Tahiti/Darwin
Southern Oscillation Index (SOI), and the mean sea level pressure for both
Tahiti and Darwin. 2. Unit of Measurement. The mean sea level pressure for both Tahiti
and Darwin is measured in millibars x 10, and the SOI is dimensionless. 3. Data Source. This dataset was compiled from a variety of sources.
Data for Tahiti covering the period 1875 to 1933 were taken at the hospital
in Papeete and obtained from manuscript records held at the French Meteorological
Service. Additional data for Tahiti covering the period between 1932 to
1934 were obtained from Reseau Mondial. Data for Darwin for the period
after 1908 were obtained from the Commonwealth Bureau of Meteorology in
Australia. Data for Darwin for the period 1876 to 1907 were obtained from
reports by the Adelaide Observatory in South Australia, with overlapping
data from the Smithsonian Institution and the Australian Bureau of Meteorology.
Recently, additional data obtained from publications of the Adelaide Observatory
held in the Northern Territory Branch of the Australian Archives were found
that extends the coverage to the period 1865 to 1881. Data from Tahiti
and Darwin were obtained from World Weather Records publications for the
period after 1935. 4. Data Set Identification. The Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) data
set consists of level III data and is referred to as the Climate Research
Unit Southern Oscillation Index (CRU-SOI).
