Brief description

A suite of 3 arsecond resolution climate surfaces for the Australian continent, with adjustment for the radiative effects of terrain. This collection represents a 30 year average centred on 1990 (ANUCLIM derived). Precipitation, temperature, evaporation and water balance data are presented as annual means or totals and maximum and minimum monthly values. Data are provided as GeoTiffs. Spatial reference system is WGS84 geographics The data were generated using the CSIRO 'terraformer' software. A short methods summary is provided in the file 9sClimateMethodsSummary.pdf for further information, including a nomenclature for files.

Lineage

Climate surfaces for the present were based on the ANUCLIM 6.1 (Xu and Hutchinson, 2011) 30 year average climate surfaces for Australia (1976-2005), with elevational lapse rate correction applied over the 3 arcsecond SRTM-derived digital elevation model (Gallant et al. 2009). Radiative correction derived from the same DEM was applied to radiation and maximum temperature before calculation of evaporation, using the CSIRO TerraFormer software. Summary statistics for each variable were then calculated including variables described in appendices provided with Williams et al (2012). A short methods summary is provided in the file 9sClimateMethodsSummary.pdf (Harwood et al. 2018) for further information. Additional summary information is provided in ClimateVariables_v1.docx' (Williams et al. 2014). These 3 arcsecond climate variables were incorporated into the TERN 90m Digital Soil Mapping Raster Covariate Stack (Searle et al. 2022).
