Obtain Data

These pages provide access to a range of gridded and location data produced during the NRM project. These include application-ready products, where projected changes have been applied to historical observed datasets to produce plausible future data as time-series.

Additional datasets are available on request .

Download of individual model datasets is subject to Acknowledgement of the Terms relating to data download and the and the Climate Change in Australia Terms of Use . Downloading these datasets indicates your acceptance of these terms.

Available Data

1. Gridded change data at model native grid
2. Application-ready data at 0.05° (approx. 5 km) grid, as monthly, seasonal and annual 30-year time-series.
3. Application-ready data at 0.05° (approx. 5 km) grid, as monthly, seasonal and annual averages.
4. Application-ready rainfall data for locations, as monthly, seasonal and annual 30-year time-series.
5. Tabulated future seasonal climatological averages for four RCPs, four future time-periods, for all available locations (single csv/Excel file)
6. Tabulated future annual climatological averages for four RCPs, four future time-periods, for all available locations (single csv/Excel file)

Many of these data are provided in NetCDF format. This is a multi-dimensional data format widely used for climate and other 'big data' datasets.

The free software, Panoply is useful for viewing NetCDF data and can also export data to text and csv formats.

For step by step instructions for importing NetCDF format into ArcGIS, see Help with exporting data .

Horizontal datum: All gridded data are on the WGS84 geographic datum.
