Mean monthly and mean annual evaporation grids. The grids show evaporation values across Australia in the form of two-dimensional array data. The maps show the average amount of water which evaporates from an open pan each month, season and annually. Evaporation is measured by the use of a "class A evaporation pan".
The resolution of the data is 0.25 degrees (approximately 25km) The mean data are based on all available stations with at least ten years of records between 1975 and 2005. Gridded data were generated using the Barnes 2-D meteorological analysis. Approximately 300 stations were used in the analysis. Most of the stations used in the analysis have at least 10 years of records, with at least 80% complete data over the recorded period. The evaporation data that were used in producing the grids are from the Bureau of Meteorology’s class A pan evaporimeters.
