Abstract / Summary:
Preparation of a Climate Data Set for the Murrumbidgee River Catchment for Land Surface Modelling Experiments
Executive Summary
This report describes the preparation of a climate data set for ten locations in the Murrumbidgee River Basin; Balranald, Hay, Griffith, Yanco, West Wyalong, Cootamundra, Kyeamba, Adelong, Canberra and Cooma. The data will be used as forcing data for land surface modelling experiments. The locations coincide with the sites in the CRCCH Murrumbidgee River Basin soil moisture monitoring program.
The climate data prepared are 30-minute time series of rainfall, air temperature, specific humidity, wind speed, wind direction, incoming shortwave radiation and incoming longwave radiation. At present, the data have been compiled for the period from January 2000 to June 2002. The data will be updated every six months.
