Annual mean precipitation of wettest quarter for the Australian continent for the baseline climatic average of monthly 1976-2005 data. Wettest quarter is the set of 3 consecutive months for which the sum of all precipitation over the selected period is higher than any other set of 3 consecutive months. Modelled using eMAST-R-Package 2.0

Annual mean isothermality for the Australian continent for the baseline climatic average of monthly 1976-2005 data. Modelled using eMAST-R-Package 2.0

Monthly number of days less than 0 degrees Celsius for the Australian continent. Modelled using eMAST-R-Package 2.0.

Annual mean precipitation of driest quarter for the Australian continent for the baseline climatic average of monthly 1976-2005 data. Driest Quarter is the set of 3 consecutive months for which the sum of all precipitation over the selected period is lower than any other set of 3 consecutive months. Modelled using eMAST-R-Package 2.0

Monthly photosynthetically active radiation for the Australian continent. Modelled using eMAST-R-Package 2.0.

Annual mean precipitation of driest month for the Australian continent for the baseline climatic average of monthly 1976-2005 data. Modelled using eMAST-R-Package 2.0

Annual mean precipitation of wettest month for the Australian continent for the baseline climatic average of monthly 1976-2005 data. Monthly rainfall totals are useful for estimation of soil moisture for plant growth and surface runoff via soil water balance modelling. Modelled using eMAST-R-Package 2.0

Annual mean temperature for the Australian continent. Modelled using eMAST-R-Package 2.0

Annual radiation of warmest month for the Australian continent. Modelled by using ANUSPLIN Version 4.5 to fit trivariate thin plate smoothing spline functions of longitude, latitude and vertically exaggerated elevation. Station elevations were 0.05 degree local averages of grid values from the GEODATA 9 second DEM version 3 as provided by eMAST_ANUClimate_fx_el05_v1m0.

Precipitation of warmest quarter for the Australian continent. Warmest quarter is the set of 3 consecutive months for which the mean temperature over the selected period is higher than any other set of 3 consecutive months. Modelled using eMAST-R-Package 2.0
