Annual radiation seasonality (coefficient of variation) for the Australian continent. Modelled using eMAST-R-Package 2.0.

Annual average daily modelled scalar soil water content for the Australian continent. Modelled using eMAST-R-Package 2.0.

Daily top-layer (~ 0-2 cm) soil moisture derived from ASCAT sensor aboard Metop-A. The data are from the TUW (Technical University of Vienna) and derived using the time series approach of Wagner, Wolfgang; Lemoine, Guido; Rott, Helmut (1999): A method for estimating soil moisture from ERS scatterometer and soil data. Remote Sensing of Environment, 70(2), 191-207, doi:10.1016/S0034-4257(99)00036-X. The daily product is generated for Australia using the average of ascending and descending passes. The data are resampled using nearest neighbour resampling to 0.05 degree resolution for the whole country.

Monthly moisture index for the Australian continent. Modelled using eMAST-R-Package 2.0.

Monthly growing degree days above 0 degrees Celsius - GDD0 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 mean of the mean temperature of warmest quarter for the Australian continent for the baseline climatic average of monthly 1976-2005 data. 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

Mean temperature of coldest quarter for the Australian continent. Coldest quarter is the set of 3 consecutive months for which the mean temperature over the selected period is lower than any other set of 3 consecutive months. Modelled using eMAST-R-Package 2.0

Temperature annual range for the Australian continent. Modelled using eMAST-R-Package 2.0

Mean temperature of driest quarter for the Australian continent. 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
