The reanalysis suite is based on the Australian Community Climate Earth-System Simulator (ACCESS) and extends 70 levels (up to 80 km) into the atmosphere. It is nested within the required boundary and/or initial conditions provided by ERA-Interim reanalysis, Operational SST and Sea Ice Analysis, and the Bureau offline soil moisture reanalysis. The region covered by the reanalysis is the Australian continent, and the surrounding region including parts of southeast Asia, New Zealand, and south to the ice edge of the Antarctic continent. About 100 parameters are available at hourly time steps at approximately 12-km resolution. For a small number of subdomains, analyses at a 1.5-km resolution are available. These have been developed using multiple convective-scale (1.5-km) downscaling analyses driven by the 12-km system. | project | BARRA: Bureau of Meteorology high-resolution Regional Reanalysis for Australia | keywords | Earth Science Services, Models, Earth Science Reanalyses/Assimilation Models; Continent, Australia/New Zealand; 1 km - < 10km and 10 km - < 50 km; 1 minute - < 1 hour; hourly - < Daily; Government Agencies-Non-US, Australia, AU/BOM | acknowledgment | The Australian Government, Bureau of Meteorology; Bureau of Meteorology Atmospheric high-resolution Regional Reanalysis for Australia (BARRA) | id | BARRA-R | doi | 10.4225/41/5993927b50f53 | references | http://www.bom.gov.au | metadata_link | http://dx.doi.org/10.4225/41/5993927b50f53 | license | The Bureau of Meteorology licences this data under its Express Licence Agreement.

If up, vertical values are interpreted as 'altitude', with negative values corresponding to below the reference datum (e.g., under water). If down, vertical values are interpreted as 'depth', positive values correspond to below the reference datum. Note that if geospatial_vertical_positive is down ('depth' orientation), the geospatial_vertical_min attribute specifies the data's vertical location furthest from the earth's center, and the geospatial_vertical_max attribute specifies the location closest to the earth's center. | time_coverage_start | Time of the first data point | time_coverage_end | Time of the last data point |
