GLO climate data stats summary

## **Abstract** \n\nThe dataset was derived by the Bioregional Assessment Programme from multiple source datasets. The source datasets are 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\nVarious climate variables summary for all 15 subregions based on Bureau of Meteorology Australian Water Availability Project (BAWAP) climate grids. Including\n\n1. Time series mean annual BAWAP rainfall from 1900 - 2012.\n\n2. Long term average BAWAP rainfall and Penman Potentail Evapotranspiration (PET) from Jan 1981 - Dec 2012 for each month\n\n3. Values calculated over the years 1981 - 2012 (inclusive), for 17 time periods (i.e., annual, 4 seasons and 12 months) for the following 8 meteorological variables: (i) BAWAP_P (precipitation); (ii) Penman ETp; (iii) Tavg (average temperature); (iv) Tmax (maximum temperature); (v) Tmin (minimum temperature); (vi) VPD (Vapour Pressure Deficit); (vii) Rn (net radiation); and (viii) Wind speed. For each of the 17 time periods for each of the 8 meteorological variables have calculated the: (a) average; (b) maximum; (c) minimum; (d) average plus standard deviation (stddev); (e) average minus stddev; (f) stddev; and (g) trend.\n\n4. Correlation coefficients (-1 to 1) between rainfall and 4 remote rainfall drivers between 1957-2006 for the four seasons. The data and methodology are described in Risbey et al. (2009). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs described in the Risbey et al. (2009) paper, the rainfall was from 0.05 degree gridded data described in Jeffrey et al. (2001 - known as the SILO datasets); sea surface temperature was from the Hadley Centre Sea Ice and Sea Surface Temperature dataset (HadISST) on a 1 degree grid. BLK=Blocking; DMI=Dipole Mode Index; SAM=Southern Annular Mode; SOI=Southern Oscillation Index; DJF=December, January, February; MAM=March, April, May; JJA=June, July, August; SON=September, October, November. The analysis is a summary of Fig. 15 of Risbey et al. (2009).\n\n\n\nThere are 4 csv files here:\n\nBAWAP_P_annual_BA_SYB_GLO.csv\n\nDesc: Time series mean annual BAWAP rainfall from 1900 - 2012.\n\nSource data: annual BILO rainfall \n\n\n\nP_PET_monthly_BA_SYB_GLO.csv\n\nlong term average BAWAP rainfall and Penman PET from 198101 - 201212 for each month\n\n\n\nClimatology_Trend_BA_SYB_GLO.csv\n\nValues calculated over the years 1981 - 2012 (inclusive), for 17 time periods (i.e., annual, 4 seasons and 12 months) for the following 8 meteorological variables: (i) BAWAP_P; (ii) Penman ETp; (iii) Tavg; (iv) Tmax; (v) Tmin; (vi) VPD; (vii) Rn; and (viii) Wind speed.

Data were extracted from national datasets for the GLO subregion.\n\n\n\nBAWAP_P_annual_BA_SYB_GLO.csv\n\nDesc: Time series mean annual BAWAP rainfall from 1900 - 2012.\n\nSource data: annual BILO rainfall \n\n\n\nP_PET_monthly_BA_SYB_GLO.csv\n\nlong term average BAWAP rainfall and Penman PET from 198101 - 201212 for each month\n\n\n\nClimatology_Trend_BA_SYB_GLO.csv\n\nValues calculated over the years 1981 - 2012 (inclusive), for 17 time periods (i.e., annual, 4 seasons and 12 months) for the following 8 meteorological variables: (i) BAWAP_P; (ii) Penman ETp; (iii) Tavg; (iv) Tmax; (v) Tmin; (vi) VPD; (vii) Rn; and (viii) Wind speed.
