Description A selection of 9sec gridded National climate change variables for biodiversity modelling. This collection represents 30-year averages centred on each of 1990, 2050, 2070, 2090. Projected future climates were generated by applying within-model changes for two circulation model outputs: GFDL and ACCESS1.0; and for two representative concentration pathways (RCP 4.5, 8.5), calculated at the native general circulation model grid resolution to these current surfaces, using ANUCLIM 6.1 prior to radiative adjustment. That the maximum temperature variables have been adjusted for topographic slope/aspect and shading effects. A short methods summary is provided in the file 9sClimateMethodsSummary.pdf for further information, including a nomenclature for files. The selected climate variables provided in this collection are:
TNM - mean annual minimum temperature
TXM - mean annual maximum temperature
TXX - mean maximum monthly maximum temperature
TXI - mean minimum monthly maximum temperature
TNI - mean minimum monthly minimum temperature
TNX - mean maximum monthly minimum temperature
PTA - Average total annual rainfall
PTX - mean maximum monthly rainfall
PTI - mean minimum monthly rainfall
Other variables (evaporation and water balance, temperature range, and seasonality, etc) are available upon application. The data are provided in ESRI binary float grid format (*.hdr, *.flt), Projection is geographic GDA94.
