Sample data for Monthly (Grid)
Data format is:
Yr.Mth Avg Avg Tot Tot Avg Avg YYYYMM TMax TMin Rain Evap Rad VP () (°C) (°C) (mm) (mm) (MJ/m²) (hPa)
Monthly data are provided as follows:
- Maximum temperature, minimum temperature, solar radiation and vapour pressure are the means for the given month; and
- Rainfall and evaporation are the totals for the given month.
No daily data are provided.
Monthly totals and means are computed using all daily data available within the user-specified date range. For example, if the date range is 5 May 2020 - 8 July 2020, the totals and means will be computed using daily data as follows:
- May 2020: partial totals and means based on data from 5-31 May 2020
- June 2020: totals and means based on data from 1-30 June 2020
- July 2020: partial totals and means based on data from 1-8 July 2020.
