Title

ANUCLIM Annual Mean Rainfall raster layer

Alternative title(s)

Abstract

The Annual Mean Rainfall dataset was created using ANUCLIM software and the 1 second SRTM DEM-S (smoothed Digital Elevation Model) data. Climate variables generated by ANUCLIM (Version 6.1 MTHCLIM module) depend on a digital elevation model.

Monthly mean climate values for the 1976-2005 periods are used to generate the surface. Grid resolution is 1 second or approximately 30m.

Additional information source

The real sensitivity of information in the climate surfaces used by ANUCLIM is such that a 1 km resolution DEM is normally sufficient for temperature dependent parameters and a 5 km resolution DEM is normally sufficient for rainfall dependent parameters (see Sharples et al. 2005). Choosing a DEM with 500 metres or finer can make the results visually appealing, but will not increase their real information content. A resolution of 1 km (or around 0.01 degrees) is normally sufficient for most ANUCLIM applications. Using a DEM with grid spacing finer than 100 metres is not recommended (see http://fennerschool.anu.edu.au/files/anuclim61.pdf).
