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

Mean temperature 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

Annual radiation of wettest 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.

Monthly growing degree days above 0 degrees Celsius - GDD0 for the Australian continent. Modelled using eMAST-R-Package 2.0.

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

Precipitation of driest month for the Australian continent. Modelled using eMAST-R-Package 2.0

Annual radiation of coldest 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.

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

Monthly temperature seasonality (standard deviation *100) 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.
