Caloundra Australia Monitoring Station Location

This station also has live Radon monitoring equipment.






Planetary Thermal Imbalance & Extreme UV Levels

A possible new cause for upper atmosphere damage is from the large Fukushima krypton-85 and other radioactive releases. This is creating a Planetary Thermal Imbalance & Extreme UV Levels. Planetary Thermal Imbalance is indicated by record breaking extremes in worldwide hot and cold temperatures. The large difference between hot and cold creates extreme weather events.

Despite CFC reduction in the atmosphere UV levels here can now frequently reach high to extreme levels here in spring and summer, for weeks at a time. During these events it is suggested, if possible, to stay out of the Sun, or wear good UV rated sunglasses and protective clothing when out in the Sun. If you live in the Northern Hemisphere also monitor your local UV levels. Local UV level links for each Australian monitoring station are now provided.

This is an amateur volunteer run service. Human error can provide incorrect information, and equipment malfunction can produce false readings. Do not rely on, or take action upon information presented on this web site without further research. The average pre-Fukushima 4 year background level for Caloundra Central was ~0.1 uSv/hr. The station charts below are refreshed every 10 minutes. The 120 second logging chart full width is 2 hours, and the 3 hour averaging chart full width is 24 hours. Chart details explained

(Note: A red line from top to bottom of a live chart, means the software has been reset.)

Caloundra Central 24 hour Radon Level Chart
This Radon monitor has been set up to establish if Radon or other Alpha emitting radioactive isotopes are significantly affecting local background radiation levels. It is set up in a room in a wooden building on stumps, near the Pacific Ocean, so Radon levels should be low. Anything above 3 pCi/l for an extended period of time would be of concern. Information on Radon levels and why it is of concern.

Radon Info


The Live monitoring equipment is built around a sensitive Russian SBT-10 pancake probe. This pancake probe is used in conjunction with the Theremino Geiger hardware kit, and software. This free Geiger Counter Use Guide provides basic information on setting up the Theremino kit. For long term data on local background radiation levels and more information, click here.
