Owners Ivan Hanigan
Project Abstract We utilized the gridded meteorological datasets for Australia from the Australian Water Availability Project (AWAP), a partnership of the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, Bureau of Rural Sciences, and CSIRO (http://www.bom.gov.au/jsp/awap/). These data are estimated for each pixel of a grid with a resolution of 0.05 x 0.05 decimal degrees (approximately five x five kilometres) using a spatial model. We used an open source R package to download and format the AWAP grids (https://github.com/swish-climate-impact-assessment/awaptools). More info is available about the weather data creation at http://www.bom.gov.au/amm/docs/2009/jones.pdf

Abstract A compilation of gridded daily solar exposure data across Australia, spanning from 1990 to 2021. This dataset provides intricate insights into the spatial and temporal distribution of solar radiation. Represented in EPSG:4283 projection, it facilitates detailed analyses of solar exposure patterns. Although some days may exhibit data gaps due to satellite issues, this dataset remains invaluable for investigating solar radiation trends, quantifying solar energy potential, and informing renewable energy strategies.

Abstract The Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) grids and maps are derived from satellite data. The data provides an overview of the status and dynamics of vegetation across Australia, providing a measure the amount of live green vegetation. The satellite data comes from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) instruments on board the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) series of satellites that are operated by the US (http://noaasis.noaa.gov/NOAASIS/ml/avhrr.html). NDVI Downloaded preprocessed data at 5x5km resolution from http://www.bom.gov.au/jsp/awap/ndvi/index.jsp BoM processing described at: http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/austmaps/about-ndvi-maps.shtml

Abstract

This is a test of the optimal way to store and use netCDF files. I have uploaded five sets of files (essentially the same) to do the tests.

125G ./AWAP_30Year 52G ./AWAP_Year_Param/compressed 185G ./AWAP_Year_Param/uncompressed 39K ./AWAP_Year/compressed 256G ./AWAP_Year/uncompressed

This data at the moment is similar to the current dataset: Historial Heatwaves Australia/historical_heatwaves_from_AWAP_1950_2016 but we will be adding additional parameters once the initial tests are completed. That dataset lists 8 access methods and I will be using all 8 access methods to determine bench mark speed tests using typical operators for getting file information, operations (e.g. cropping), modification (e.g. reprojecting) , arithmetic (e.g. combine fields), statistics (temporal and spatial).
