Australian Water Availability Project

The Bureau of Meteorology has generated a range of improved meteorological analyses for Australia as a contribution to the Australian Water Availability Project (AWAP). The meteorological analyses include rainfall, temperature, vapour pressure, solar exposure and NDVI over time periods ranging from daily, weekly, monthly to 3-yearly.


The products displayed on this page are produced through the Australian Water Availability Project. Partners in this project are the Bureau of Rural Sciences, CSIRO and the Australian Bureau of Meteorology. This project was part supported by the National Heritage Trust. The scientific basis for these new analyses is described here.

These new climate analyses are substantially more accurate and offer higher resolution than those available at http://www.bom.gov.au/cgi-bin/silo/rain_maps.cgi.
