BOM - Bureau of Meteorology - Australian Temperature datasets 1900-2007

The CSIRO versions of the BOM (Bureau of Meteorology Australia) Australian Temperature datasets are a concatenation of the individual monthly Temperature datasets into a single contiguous netcdf file for the time period 1900-2007 with a spatial resolution of .25° x .25°. The variables tav(Average Temperature), tmax (Maximum Temperature), tmin (Minimum Temperature) & tdtr (Diurnal Temperature Range) are available for the whole of Australia and also as a subset for the Murray Darling Basin. These have also been processed to include calculated Anomaly, Climatology, and Seasonal datasets available for Australia. There are approximately 17 files for Temperature data totalling 921.32 MB.
