There are at least three gridded surface climate datasets availa= ble for Australia. They each use the same underlying BOM weather station da= ta (albeit with possibly different quality controls applied). They differ i= n the interpolation method used and the variables provided.

The TERN AusCover facility and CSIRO worked closely with BOM to help val= idate and make available the early versions of the BOM=E2=80=99s AGCD datas= et. At the the time the corresponding project in CSIRO was called Australian Water Availability Project (AWAP), and so sometime= s the BOMs gridded surface climate data were called =E2=80=9CBOM AWAP=E2=80= =9D or =E2=80=9CBAWAP=E2=80=9D as well.
TERN no longer maintains a copy nor its own metadata records for BOM AGC= D; users are directed to the links above instead.
