Mallee Plot Network: Weather Station Data, Western New South Wales and South Australia, Australia, 2011-2012

Abstract: The Mallee Plot Network Weather Station Data package contains precipitation data, collected between 2011 and 2012, from automatic (Tarawi Homestead, established 1994) and visually monitored weather stations (Tarawi Nature Reserve, Scotia Sanctuary, established 1996-2006). Prior to that time, rainfall records had been maintained since 1941 by visually monitored rain gauge. Four additional visually monitored rain gauges were established in Tarawi NR in January 1997, a further five were established in May 2001, and two were established in Scotia Sanctuary in September 2007.

The Mallee Plot Network research plots commenced in 1996 and were revisited annually for 3 years and then on a decadal basis.

A synopsis of related data packages which have been collected as part of the Mallee Plot Network’s full program is provided at https://doi.org/10.25911/5c133088bc5b9

Project funding: Between 2012 and 2018 this project was part of, and funded through the Long Term Ecological Research Network (LTERN) a facility within the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN) and supported by the Australian Government through the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy.
