Abstract
Bureau of Meteorology Australian Digital Forecast Database Grid. Forecasts are issued by the Bureau of Meteorology on a routine basis for each state and merged into one forecast grid for Australia for each forecast element. This forecast element is the 10% chance of more than the rain amount, in millimetres per 3 hours, starting at the hour shown. There is a 10% chance during the three hourly period of getting the stated amount of rainfall, or more. This is given as a single value and should be considered separately from the the Rainfall Amount range given for the whole day.
Supplementary Information:
See http://www.bom.gov.au/catalogue/adfdUserGuide.doc or http://www.bom.gov.au/catalogue/adfdUserGuide.pdf for more information. Grid Element name: Precip10Pct
Product ID: IDZ71031
Purpose:
To provide a graphical representation of the forecast for the ADFD grid of 10% Chance of at more than this amount of rainfall (mm) falling in a 3 hour period.
