A statewide grid surface (80m spatial resolution) delineating recent air temperature (Degree Celsius, oC) of Tasmania is produced in near real-time. The outputs are dynamic with air temperature maps updated at half-hourly intervals (there is a production time lag where outputs typically take 30 minutes to be produced from the true observation time). Refer to the following link for details of the latest map updates: https://sdi.tas-hires-weather.cloud.edu.au/shiny/ Map outputs are based on records produced from 43 Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) Automatic Weather Station sites with further bias correction provided by 267 independent air temperature logger recording sites (courtesy of the Tasmanian Government Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment (DPIPWE)). For operational real-time application, the mapping was fully automated in the R programming language and hosted on a cloud-based computing platform courtesy of Sense-T and hosted on the high performance computing cluster provided by the Tasmanian Partnership of Advanced Computing (TPAC) of the University of Tasmania.

A collection of high-resolution climate grid surfaces for land areas in Tasmania based on Climate Futures For Tasmania projection modelling. There are 152 climate products available that delineate temperature and rainfall parameters specific to crop growing requirements that form part of the enterprise suitability mapping program (refer here: https://dpipwe.tas.gov.au/agriculture/investing-in-irrigation/enterprise-suitability-toolkit/enterprise-suitability-maps). Broadly speaking these products include climate risk parameters including frost risk, heat risk and extreme rainfall risk as well as crop related indices including growing degree days and chill hours. Furthermore, mean monthly climate variables including mean monthly maximum/minimum air temperature and rainfall products are also produced. Refer here for dataset inventory: https://nrmdatalibrary.dpipwe.tas.gov.au/FactSheets/WfW/ListMapUserNotes/Inventory_DCM_Tas.pdf Climate Futures Tasmania (CFT) projections were incorporated into the modelling framework to simulate projected climate (according to the RCP 8.5 scenario) for years 2030 and 2050. These projections were downscaled, and bias corrected to a spatial grid resolution of 30m. Also, note that these outputs relate to the baseline climate maps defined here: https://www.thelist.tas.gov.au/app/content/data/geo-meta-data-record?detailRecordUID=ba62f124-5906-4471-a01c-9b57b6142055 All products can be accessed via Web Map Service: https://spatial.dpipwe.tas.gov.au/naturalassets/Climate/wms Or viewed in the following Web Map application: https://arcg.is/vaHDG

This data set contains the weather station names and numbers and associated climate data for stations in Tasmania with records longer than 15 years.

A series of grid surfaces delineating average rainfall (mm) calculated for individual months for land areas across Tasmania at a spatial resolution of 30m. Thirty-six datasets are available for this parameter representing recent climate to:,

A grid surface (80m spatial resolution) delineating a Soil Dryness Index (SDI) across the state of Tasmania is produced daily. Soil Dryness is estimated based on the calculation prescribed in Mount (1972) with input data provided from high resolution daily maximum temperature and accumulated rainfall grids. Refer to the following link for details of the latest map updates: https://sdi.tas-hires-weather.cloud.edu.au/shiny/ For operational real-time application, the mapping was fully automated in the R programming language and hosted on a cloud-based computing platform - via the high performance computing cluster provided by the Tasmanian Partnership of Advanced Computing (TPAC) of the University of Tasmania.

The Mallee Plot Network Weather Station Data package contains precipitation data from automatic (Tarawi Homestead, established 1994) and visually monitored weather stations (Tarawi Nature Reserve, Scotia Sanctuary, established 1996-2006). Prior to that time, rainfall records had been maintained since 1941 by visually monitored rain gauge. Four additional visually monitored rain gauges were established in Tarawi NR in January 1997, a further five were established in May 2001, and two were established in Scotia Sanctuary in September 2007. The Mallee Plot Network research plots commenced in 1996 and were revisited annually for 3 years and then on a decadal basis. A synopsis of related data packages which have been collected as part of the Mallee Plot Network’s full program is provided at http://www.ltern.org.au/index.php/ltern-plot-networks/mallee
