Monthly Rainfall, Calperum Mallee SuperSite, Calperum Station, 1995-2011

The monthly rainfall for 17 rain gauges distributed across the paddocks of Calperum Station. These gauges were established to assess spatial and temporal variation in the rainfall across the station. Thirteen of the rain gauges were established on permanent photo-monitoring sites to enable comparisons between observed changes in vegetation and rainfall variation. Every attempt was made to collect data at the end of each month, but on occasions due to limited access some sites were not collected in some months and the next months rainfall represents a cumulative total. Months when gauges were not checked are recorded as “not read” or no data is entered.
