Wind: Ultrasonic sensor
- Data invalid from 1 January to 16 December due to sensor fault
- Height above ground level: 10 metres.
- The wind direction sensor is aligned to magnetic north. The reported wind direction is referenced to true north by application of a magnetic declination correction of +10 degrees to the sensor output value.
Temperature: Capacitive ceramic sensor
- Height above ground level: 3 metres (1 January to 17 December)
- 10 metres (17 December to 31 December).
Relative humidity: Capacitive thin film polymer sensor (17 December to 31 December)
- Height above ground level: 10 metres.
Rainfall: Vaisala RAINCAP® precipitation sensor (17 December to 31 December)
- Height above ground level: 10 metres.
Barometric pressure: Capacitive silicon sensor (17 December to 31 December)

PM10: Tapered Element Oscillating Balance (TEOM) Model 1400AB operated in accordance with AS 3580.9.8—2001
- Measurement values do not compensate for loss of semi-volatile components from the collected particulate matter.
- Instrument output values are adjusted in accordance with US EPA equivalence designation method EQPM-1090-079 requirements (scaled by 1.03, offset by +3.0).
- After adjustment, negative hourly PM10 concentrations less than -0.5 µg/m^3 are removed and concentrations between -0.5 µg/m^3 and 0.0 µg/m^3 are set to 0.0 µg/m^3.
