Observations data is from a sample of 518 automatic weather stations (AWS) over land, and is at the surface level. Data has been aggregated from one-minute readings into hourly values, for forecast comparison purposes. This observations data is partly QC'd. Forecasted weather elements include temperature, maximum and minimum temperature, rainfall probabilities and rainfall amounts. Different forecast products have different time resolutions, e.g. temperature forecasts are made for each hour, while maximum and minimum temperature forecasts are made for each day. This dataset is approximately 650 Mb in size. http://www.ga.gov.au/place-names/PlaceDetails.jsp?submit1=GA1 151.122622 151.122622 -25.371968 -25.371968 Climatology Meteorology and Atmosphere forecast historical observations weather temperature and rainfall forecast and observed documentDigital This dataset is prepared by the Evidence Targeted Automation team (gfe_eta@bom.gov.au) from the Research and Development branch, using data obtained from the Australian Digital Forecast Database (ADFD) and the Australian Data Archive for Meteorology (ADAM). This dataset focuses on the comparison of temperature and rainfall forecasts against observations over land at the surface level, and includes data for a year-long period from May 2016 to April 2017.
