Monthly time series of rainfall, potential evapotranspiration and streamflow for 201 catchments in South-East Australia

The data set contains data for 201 catchments located in South-Eastern Australia. The data was extracted from the datasets collated by Lerat, Thyer et al. (2020) including rainfall and potential-evapotranspiration data obtained from the Bureau of Meteorology Australian Water Outlook website (Frost, Ramchurn et al. 2016) and streamflow data obtained from the Bureau of Meteorology Water Data Online website (Bureau of Meteorology 2019). The data was collected over the period from 1980 to 2018, split into the two sub-periods 1980-1999 (Period 1) and 1999-2018 (Period 2).
