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

Annual mean precipitation for the Australian continent for the baseline climatic average of monthly 1976-2005 data. 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.
