The SILO project
The
Bureau of Meteorology's SILO pages provide access
to a rich array of rainfall, temperature and radiation information both as digital
data and map graphics; and weather, drought and seasonal climate outlook products.
The Bureau's site also contains access to simulated datasets from their seven
day weather forecast models.
The
Patched Point Dataset and the Datadrill are NRM&E's contribution to SILO
which will have benefit to anyone interested in undertaking quantitative analyses
for climatic risk management in agriculture, pastoralism, water resources and
natural resources management. Using continuous historical climate sequences
with biophysical simulations, research scientists can generate probability distributions
of key outputs, such as crop yields, water use, soil loss etc anywhere in Australia
for the last 50 - 100 years.

support aids available free of charge from the Agricultural Production
Systems Research Unit (APSRU).
