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 1976-2005. Relative Humidity (RH) data are recorded at a network of weather stations across Australia. The data from these weather stations are stored electronically in the Bureau of Meteorology's database called ADAM (Australian Data Archive for Meteorology). The average RH maps were based on daily 9am and 3pm RH data from about 530 weather stations. The daily data were extracted from ADAM and a number of quality control checks were then applied to the data. After the quality checks were applied to the data, monthly and annual 9am and 3pm averages were calculated for each of the weather stations. An objective analysis technique was then applied to these station averages to produce regular gridded datasets (each month and annual) covering Australia.
