Real-Time Datasets
* Click dataset name for detailed information and how to access
| Dataset | Description |
|---|---|
| Region/Station | Forecasts for a range of key Australian stations and regions. Data is daily and calibrated using quantile-quantile mapping. Key variables include rainfall, max/min temperature, and surface variables normally required to drive agricultural models (eg. wind, radiation, evaporation etc). Ideal for interfacing to Applications tools e.g. pasture growth models etc |
| 5km Calibrated | Forecasts containing daily data on a 5x5km grid over Australia. The values have been calibrated using quantile-quantile mapping technique. Key variables include rainfall, max/min temperature, and surface variables normally required to drive agricultural models (eg. wind, radiation, evaporation etc). Ideal for interfacing to Applications tools e.g. pasture growth models etc |
| 5km Bias Corrected | Forecasts containing daily data on a 5x5km grid over Australia. The values have been bias corrected (mean bias corrected) and is ideal for scientists who want to do their own calibration.. Key variables include rainfall, max/min temperature, and surface variables normally required to drive agricultural models (eg. wind, radiation, evaporation etc). Ideal for scientists wanting to explore calibration techniques. |
| 60km Raw Atmosphere | Raw uncalibrated atmospheric and land surface model output. Dataset is global and on a 60km grid. Includes a wide range of atmospheric surface and 3D variables and land surface temperature and moisture Ideal for advanced researchers who can do their own bias correction. |
| 25km Raw Ocean | Raw uncalibrated ocean and sea-ice surface model output. Dataset is global and on a 25km grid. Currently only ocean surface temperature and sea level are available. Ideal for advanced researchers who can do their own bias correction. |
