abstract

Australian Gridded Climate Data (AGCD) / Australian Water Availability Project (AWAP) is the Bureau of Meteorology’s official dataset for climate analyses covering the variables of temperature (maximum and minimum) as well as vapour pressure at daily and monthly timescales. The dataset provides consistent temporal and spatial analyses across Australia for each observed data variable. This accounts for spatial and temporal gaps in observations. Where possible, the gridded analysis techniques provide useful estimates in data-sparse regions such as central Australia.

V1.0.1 created as a snapshot on 20230519 (1900-01-01 to 2022-12-31)

Time coverage: Site-based data are used to provide gridded climate data at the daily and monthly timescale for rainfall (1900+), maximum and minimum temperature (1910+), 9am and 3pm vapour pressure (1971+).
