Australian climate data from 1889 to yesterday
Region: Queensland
Description: SILO is a database of Australian climate data from 1889 to the present. It provides daily meteorological datasets for a range of climate variables in ready-to-use formats suitable for biophysical modelling, research and climate applications. SILO is an enabling technology which allows users to focus on their research, without the burden of data preparation. SILO products support research through providing: national coverage, with infilled values for missing data, and datasets being model ready, in a variety of formats. SILO is hosted by the Queensland Department of Environment and Science (DES). The data system began in 1996 as a collaborative project between the Queensland Government and the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) sponsored by the Land and Water Resources Research and Development Corporation. The datasets are constructed from observational data obtained from BoM and other suppliers.
