Brief description

## **Abstract**

The dataset was derived by the Bioregional Assessment Programme. This dataset was derived from multiple datasets. You can find a link to the parent datasets in the Lineage Field in this metadata statement. The History Field in this metadata statement describes how this dataset was derived.



This dataset includes the following parameters clipped to BA_SYD extent.

1) Mean annual BAWAP (Bureau of Meteorology Australian Water Availability Project) rainfall of year 1981 - 2013

2) Mean annual penman PET (potential evapotranspiration) of year 1981 - 2013

3) Mean annual runoff using the 'Budyko-framework' implementation of Choudhury

## **Dataset History**

Lineage is as per the BA All mean climate data for Australia except the national data has been clipped to BA SYD extent.



The mean annual rainfall data is created from monthly BAWAP grids which is created from daily BILO rainfall.

The Mean annual penman PET is created as per the Donohue et al (2010) paper using the fully physically based Penman formulation of potential evapotranspiration, exept that daily wind speed grids used here were generated with a spline (i.e., ANUSPLIN) as per McVicar et al (2008), not the TIN as per Donohue et al (2010). For comprehensive details regarding the generation of some of these datasets (i.e., net radiation, Rn) see the details provided in Donohue et al (2009).

The Mean annual runoff was created as per the Donohue et al (2010) paper. The data represent the runoff expected from the steady-state 'Budyko curve' longterm mean annual water-energy limit approach using BAWAP precipitation and the Penman potential ET described above.
