Gippsland Product 2-1 Climate Data Geodatabase v01
This geodatabase contains the climate data used in the Gippsland Basin bioregion. The data was extracted from the national SILO data sets for 199 climate stations in the Gippsland region. The geodatabase includes the following datasets (average daily values): climate zones, evaporation, radiation, rainfall, evapotranspiration, maximum temperature and minimum temperature. The data was produced using ANUClim software (Hutchinson, 2001), using the interpolation methods discussed in Jeffery et al., 2001.
Purpose
To spatially represent interpolated potential mean annual evaporation (mm/yr) for the period 1957-2012- in Gippsland
Dataset History
For a given climate station daily climate data is a combination of original measurements and rectified data to remove any gaps in the record using interpolation methods discussed in Jeffery et al. (2001).
To account for sparsely located climate stations within Gippsland, mean annual evaporation, were scaled to each solution point within the study area, according to interpolated the mean annual evaporation spatial layer, created using the ANUClim software (Hutchinson 2001).
