Creator Tom Harwood
 
Subject Climatology (excl. Climate Change Processes)
Climate Change Processes
 
Description A suite of 9s resolution climate surfaces for the Australian continent, with adjustment for the radiative effects of terrain. This collection represents a 30 year average centred on 1990. Precipitation, temperature, evaporation and water balance data are presented as annual means or totals and maximum and minimum monthly values.

Data are provided as zipped ESRI float grids: Binary float grids (*.flt) with associated ESRI header files (*.hdr) and projection files (*.prj). After extracting from the zip archive, these files can be imported into most GIS software packages, and can be used as other binary file formats by substituting the appropriate header file.

Additionally a short methods summary is provided in the file 9sClimateMethodsSummary.pdf for further information, including a nomenclature for files.
