Background
What is vapour pressure?
...
The anomaly data are the departure from the long-term climate average calculated over the period 1971-2000. The daily anomalies are calculated with respect to the monthly average for the relevant month.
Other specifications
Citation | Interpolated Air Water Vapour Partial Pressure at 9am/3pm 1-Day Australia 5km Gridded |
Data source | Bureau of Meteorology |
Geographical coverage | 112°E–156.25°E, 44.5°S–10°S |
Coordinate system | Geographic; Datum: WGS84 |
Positional accuracy | 0.05° |
Accuracy | The daily 9am/3pm vapour pressure values have a root mean square error of 1.8 hPa / 2.5 hPa. Details are in Jones et al. (2009). |
Completeness | Complete |
Update plan | The dataset will be updated to set ocean values to missing values. |
