Predicted Near Future Climate Change Impacts on the HGL of the ACT 2017 (2nd Ed)

_This dataset supersedes all earlier versions of 'Predicted Near Future Climate Change Impacts on the HGL of the ACT'. It incorporates HGL boundary and management area edits based on updated soil landscape mapping for the ACT._\r\n\r\nThe focus of this dataset is climate change impacts in the Australian Capital Territory. It contains digital spatial data developed to assist in land management decision making in the ACT. \r\nThe dataset contains an assessment of climate change impacts on 14 variables defined by the NARCliM (NSW/ACT Regional Climate Modelling) project for three selected regional climate projection ensembles (multimodel mean, CCCMA3.1-R2, ECHAM5-R3). Only near-future (1990-2009 to 2020-2039) projections were considered.\r\nEach variable was considered using annual and seasonal time periods. Field names in the dataset follow the following format:\r\n\r\nField name = MODEL_NARCliM VARIABLE_TIME PERIOD\t\r\n\r\nValues for each element of the field name are summarised as follows:\r\n\r\nMODEL (Near future - 1990-2009 to 2020-2039)\t\r\nC – Consensus (NARCliM Multimodel Consensus Scenario)\t\r\nW – Wetter (NARCliM CCCMA3.1-R2 Wetter Scenario)\t\r\nD – Drier (NARCliM ECHAM5-R3 Drier Scenario)\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\nNARCliM VARIABLE\t\r\nFFDI – Forest fire danger index \r\nFF50 – Forest fire danger index above 50\t\r\nFFBC – Forest fire danger index bias corrected\t\r\nFFBC50 – Forest fire danger index bias corrected above 50\t\r\nPRAC – Precipitation\t\r\nPRACBC – Precipitation bias corrected\t\r\nTAME – Temp mean\t\r\nTAMX – Temp max \r\nTAMN – Temp min \r\nTAMXBC – Temp max bias corrected \r\nTAMNBC – Temp min bias corrected\t\r\nTAMX35 – Temp max bias corrected over 35\t\r\nTAMN2 – Temp min bias corrected below 2 \r\nWSSM – Wind speed\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\nTIME PERIOD \r\nA – Annual \r\nD – DJF \r\nM – MAM \r\nJ – JJA \r\nS – SON\r\n\r\nHydrogeological landscape (HGL) unit boundaries developed as part of the broader ACT Hydrogeological Landscapes (HGL) Framework project where used to constrain the outputs for this climate change assessment in the ACT. In all, there are 25 HGL defined. A weighted mean was used to calculate values for each HGL unit based on the proportions of corresponding 10km gridded data from the NARCliM data set.\r\n\r\nSpatial resolution for this dataset is 1:50 000.
