Climate Indices based on the Australian Gridded Climate Data (AGCD) v1.0

Using the Climpact software , we have calculated the full set of climate indices for the Australian Gridded Climate Data (AGCD) v1.0.0 at four spatial resolutions: 1x1 deg, 0.5x0.5 deg, 0.25x0.25 deg, and the original 0.05x0.05 deg grid. Threshold indices are based on the reference period 1971-2000.
Filenames are organized as: {climate index}_{temporal resolution}_agcd_historical_{spatial resolution}_{time period available}
Possible temporal resolution values are:

MON for monthly data
ANN for annual data

Possible spatial resolution values are:

r005 for 0.05x0.05 degree resolution
r025 for 0.25x0.25 degree resolution
r050 for 0.5x0.5 degree resolution
r1 for 1x1 degree resolution

We used bilinear interpolation to interpolate the daily AGCD tmin and tmax files to the coarser resolutions, and first-order conservative remapping to interpolate the daily precipitation files to a coarser resolution. Interpolation was completed using CDO prior to running Climpact.
