Description A suite of 3 arsecond 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 (ANUCLIM derived). Precipitation, temperature, evaporation and water balance data are presented as annual means or totals and maximum and minimum monthly values.

Data are provided as GeoTiffs. Spatial reference system is WGS84 geographics

The data were generated using the CSIRO 'terraformer' software. A short methods summary is provided in the file 9sClimateMethodsSummary.pdf for further information, including a nomenclature for files.
