Average monthly and average annual evaporation data - ARC

## **Abstract** \n\nThis dataset and its metadata statement were supplied to the Bioregional Assessment Programme by a third party and are presented here as originally supplied.\n\nMean monthly and mean annual evaporation grids.\n\nThe grids show evaporation values across Australia in the form of two-dimensional array data.\n\nThe mean data are based on all available stations with at least ten years of records between 1975 and 2005.\n\n## **Purpose** \n\nTo demonstrate distribution of evaporation values over Arckaringa subregion.\n\n## **Dataset History** \n\nGridded data were generated using the Barnes 2-D meteorological analysis. Approximately 270 stations were used in the analysis. All input station data underwent a high degree of quality control before analysis. Most of the stations used in the analysis have at least 10 years of records, with at least 80% complete data over the recorded period. The evaporation data that were used in producing the grids are from the Bureau of Meteorologys class A pan evaporimeters.\n\n## **Dataset Citation** \n\nSA Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources (2015) Average monthly and average annual evaporation data - ARC.
