Gippsland climate station zones

## **Abstract** \n\nThe dataset was derived by the Bioregional Assessment Programme from the national SILO data sets of climate station records. The parent dataset(s) is identified in the Lineage field in this metadata statement. The processes undertaken to produce this derived dataset are described in the History field in this metadata statement.\n\n\n\nGippsland Product 2.1 Climate Data Geodatabase v01 \n\nThis geodatabase contains the climate data used in the Gippsland Basin bioregion. The data was extracted from the national SILO data sets for 199 climate stations in the Gippsland region. The geodatabase includes the following datasets (average daily values): climate zones, evaporation, radiation, rainfall, evapotranspiration, maximum temperature and minimum temperature. \n\n\n\nThe layer spatially represents the zones of influence attributed to climate stations for all 199 climate stations in in Gippsland areas, with meteorological data for the period 1957-2013.\n\n## **Purpose** \n\nTo spatially represent the zones of influence attributed to climate stations for all 199 climate stations in in Gippsland areas ,with meteorological data for the period 1957-2013.\n\n## **Dataset History** \n\nThe data was produced using ANUClim software (Hutchinson, 2001), using the interpolation methods discussed in Jeffery et al., 2001.\n\n\n\nFor a given climate station daily climate data is a combination of original measurements and rectified data to remove any gaps in the record using interpolation methods discussed in Jeffery et al. (2001). \\[Jeffrey S, Carter J, Moodie K and Beswick A (2001) Using spatial interpolation to construct a comprehensive archive of Australian climate data.
