The source datasets are identified in the Lineage field in this metadata statement. The processes undertaken to produce this derived dataset are described in the History field in this metadata statement. There are 4 csv files here: BAWAP_P_annual_BA_SYB_GLO.csv Desc: Time series mean annual BAWAP rainfall from 1900 - 2012. Source data: annual BILO rainfall on \\wron\Project\BA\BA_N_Sydney\Working\li036_Lingtao_LI\Grids\BILO_Rain_Ann\ P_PET_monthly_BA_SYB_GLO.csv long term average BAWAP rainfall and Penman PET from 198101 - 201212 for each month Climatology_Trend_BA_SYB_GLO.csv Values calculated over the years 1981 - 2012 (inclusive), for 17 time periods (i.e., annual, 4 seasons and 12 months) for the following 8 meteorological variables: (i) BAWAP_P; (ii) Penman ETp; (iii) Tavg; (iv) Tmax; (v) Tmin; (vi) VPD; (vii) Rn; and (viii) Wind speed. For each of the 17 time periods for each of the 8 meteorological variables have calculated the: (a) average; (b) maximum; (c) minimum; (d) average plus standard deviation (stddev); (e) average minus stddev; (f) stddev; and (g) trend Risbey_Remote_Rainfall_Drivers_Corr_Coeffs_BA_NSB_GLO.csv Correlation coefficients (-1 to 1) between rainfall and 4 remote rainfall drivers between 1957-2006 for the four seasons. The data and methodology are described in Risbey et al. (2009). All data used in this analysis came directly from James Risbey, CMAR, Hobart. As described in the Risbey et al. (2009) paper, the rainfall was from 0.05 degree gridded data described in Jeffrey et al. (2001 - known as the SILO datasets); sea surface temperature was from the Hadley Centre Sea Ice and Sea Surface Temperature dataset (HadISST) on a 1 degree grid. BLK=Blocking; DMI=Dipole Mode Index; SAM=Southern Annular Mode; SOI=Southern Oscillation Index; DJF=December, January, February; MAM=March, April, May; JJA=June, July, August; SON=September, October, November. The analysis is a summary of Fig. 15 of Risbey et al. (2009). ## **Dataset History** Dataset was created from various BILO source data, including Monthly BILO rainfall, Tmax, Tmin, VPD, etc, and other source data including monthly Penman PET (calculated by Randall Donohue), Correlation coefficient data from James Risbey ## **Dataset Citation** Bioregional Assessment Programme (XXXX) SYD ALL climate data statistics summary.
