Abstract
|
Mean monthly and mean annual 9am and 3pm relative humidity grids.
The grids show the relative humidity values across Australia in the form of two-dimensional array data.
The mean data are based on the standard 30-year period
1961-1990.
See LINEAGE below for more information.

Data Quality

|
Lineage
|
Gridded data were generated using the ANU (Australian National University) 3-D Spline (surface fitting algorithm). As part of the 3-D
analysis process a 0.1 degree resolution digital elevation model (DEM) was
used. The grid point resolution of the data is 0.1 degrees (approximately
10km).
Approximately 700 stations were used in the analysis. All
input station data underwent a high degree of quality control before
analysis, and conform to WMO (World Meteorological Organisation) standards
for data quality.
|
|
Positional Accuracy
|
The observational (station) data on which the analyses
were based have an associated accuracy of the order of 0.01 degrees
(approximately 1km) or better.
|
|
Attribute Accuracy
|
Grid point data are post processed.
