Mean monthly and mean annual rainfall grids. The grids show the rainfall values across Australia in the form of two-dimensional array data. The mean data are based on the standard 30-year period 1961-1990. ## **Purpose** To demonstrate distribution of rainfall depths over Arckaringa subregion. ## **Dataset History** Gridded data were generated using the ANU (Australian National University) 3-D Spline (surface fitting algorithm). The resolution of the data is 0.025 degrees (approximately 2.5km) - as part of the 3-D analysis process a 0.025 degree resolution digital elevation model (DEM) was used. Approximately 6300 stations were used in the analysis over Australia. All input station data underwent a high degree of quality control before analysis, and conform to WMO (World Meteorological Organisation) standards for data quality. ## **Dataset Citation** SA Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources (2015) Mean monthly and mean annual rainfall data (base climatological data sets) - ARC.
