BOM - Bureau of Meteorology - Australian Rainfall and Murray Darling Basin Inflow datasets 1900-2007

Created 25/06/2025

Updated 25/06/2025

The CSIRO versions of the BOM (Bureau of Meteorology Australia) Australian Rainfall & Murray Darling Basin Inflow datasets are a concatenation of the individual monthly Rainfall & MDB Inflow data files into a single contiguous netcdf file for the time period 1900-2007 with a spatial resolution of .25° x .25°. These are available for the whole of Australia and also as subsets for the three regional areas of Murray Darling Basin, South East Queensland & Victoria (MDB, SEQ, VIC). The monthly Rainfall data has also been processed to include calculated Anomaly, Climatology and Seasonal forms of this dataset. There are approximately 13 files for Rainfall data totalling 424.9 MB and a single file for monthly MDB Inflow totalling 37 KB. An additional .xls file of "modelled data" was provided to the data centre in October 2014. All the data housed by CSIRO is for internal use only. Data access links via the BOM and MDBA are provided below.
