As I showed in https://kenskingdom.wordpress.com/2010/05/12/the-australian-temperature-record-p
art-1-queensland/

the HQ series has some inherent problems:

    It is based on data that has been subjectively and manually adjusted.
    It makes no allowance for Urban Heat island (UHI) effects.
    In Queensland, it produces a trend in mean temperatures that is 0.2 degrees Celsius greater than the raw data does.

Now, how many HQ stations were used to build the Northern Territory’s climate record?  2.  That’s right, TWO.  Alice Springs Airport and Tennant Creek Airport.  Darwin isn’t used because it is urban.

These two climate records, and the thermometers that produce them, are the most powerful in the nation.   Here’s a graph showing the area of each State per HQ climate site.

Lost your reference I see.

"14.
How does the urban heat island effect
impact the climate data?
The urban heat island effect can increase surface-
air temperature at urban locations. While studies
have found the effect has minimal impact on
global long-term temperature trends, urban sites
are not included in the Bureau’s assessments of
temperature trends across Australia"

You were talking AGW as usual.

It would be a yes.

And you still haven't come up with a reference for your assertion. Funny that.

"In the above chart I’m only showing the temperatures from 1895, even though they were measured from 1882, because I’ve excluded the early years when measurements were not recorded in a Stevenson screen. So, I’m only showing temperatures recorded from recognized official standard equipment."



So Stevenson Screen - tick
Step Change on move of station to Airport - tick

So why the variation to original Post Office data?

And homogenisation makes warming look ...? worse/better?

Only when you continue to lie, even a few pages upthread.
