Gippsland average daily maximum temperature

## **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. The data was produced using ANUClim software (Hutchinson, 2001), using the interpolation methods discussed in Jeffery et al., 2001.\n\n## **Purpose** \n\nTo spatially represent interpolated average daily maximum temprature (ºC) for the period 1957-2012- in Gippsland\n\n## **Dataset History** \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). \n\nTo account for sparsely located climate stations within Gippsland, average daily maximum temprature,were scaled to each solution point within the study area according to interpolated average daily maximum temprature spatial layer created using the ANUClim software (Hutchinson 2001).\n\n## **Dataset Citation** \n\nBioregional Assessment Programme (XXXX) Gippsland average daily maximum temperature.
