Mean monthly solar radiation was modelled across Australia using topography from the 1 arcsecond resolution SRTM-derived DEM-S and climatic and land surface data. The SRAD model (Wilson and Gallant, 2... more000) was used to derive: • Incoming short-wave radiation on a sloping surface • Short-wave radiation ratio (shortwave on sloping surface / shortwave on horizontal surface) • Incoming long-wave radiation • Outgoing long-wave radiation • Net long-wave radiation • Net radiation • Sky view factor All radiation values are in MJ/m2/day except for short-wave radiation ratio which has no units. The sky view factor is the fraction of the sky visible from a grid cell relative to a horizontal plane. The radiation values are determined for the middle day of each month (14th or 15th) using long-term average atmospheric conditions (such as cloudiness and atmospheric transmittance) and surface conditions (albedo and vegetation cover). They include the effect of terrain slope, aspect and shadowing (for sun positions at 5 minute intervals from sunrise to sunset), direct and diffuse radiation and sky view. The monthly data in this collection are available at 3 arcsecond resolution as single (mosaicked) grids for Australia in TIFF format. The 3 arc-second resolution versions of these radiation surfaces have been produced from the 1 arc-second resolution surfaces, by aggregating the cells in a 3x3 window and taking the mean value.

Acquired - Legacy data collection - Published 06 Feb 2015
The Prescott Index is a measure of water balance that has proven to be a useful in soil mapping both to stratify study areas for sampling and as a quantitative predictor of soil properties (Prescott, ... more1949; McKenzie et al, 2000). The index was designed to give an indication of the intensity of leaching by excess water and is calculated using long-term average precipitation P and potential evaporation E, both expressed as mean monthly values in mm (mean annual values divided by 12): PI = 0.445P / E^0.75 The evaporation was estimated from temperature and net radiation; the net radiation was computed by the SRAD solar radiation model using the smoothed 1 arc-second resolution DEM-S (ANZCW0703014016) and includes both regional climatic influences and local topographic effects. Precipitation and temperature were obtained from national climate surfaces averaged over the same time period as the climatic information used in the radiation calculations (1981-2006). The Prescott Index has no units. Larger values indicate wetter conditions. The 3 arc-second resolution version of the Prescott Index has been produced from the 1 arc-second resolution surface, by aggregating the cells in a 3x3 window and taking the mean value.less

They include the effect of terrain slope, aspect and shadowing (for sun positions at 5 minute intervals from sunrise to sunset), direct and diffuse radiation and sky view. The monthly data in this collection are available at 1 arcsecond resolution as 1x1 degree tiles in ESRI float grid format. 813 tiles make up the extent of Australia. The 1 arcsecond mosaic data can be found here: https://data.csiro.au/dap/landingpage?pid=csiro:18851 . The 3 arc-second resolution versions of these radiation surfaces have been produced from the 1 arc-second resolution surfaces, by aggregating the cells in a 3x3 window and taking the mean value. The 3 arcsecond mosaic data can be found here: https://data.csiro.au/dap/landingpage?pid=csiro:18852less
MrRTF is a topographic index designed to identify high flat areas at a range of scales. It complements the MrVBF index that is designed to identify areas of deposited material in flat valley bottoms. ... moreUnlike MrVBF, the MrRTF index does not have a clear link to landform processes but it has been found to be a useful adjunct to MrVBF in landform classification. Zero values indicate areas that are steep or low, with values 1 and larger indicating progressively larger areas of high flat land. This collection includes MrRTF data at 1 arc-second and 3 arc-second resolutions. The 3 arc-second resolution product was generated from the 1 arc-second MrRTF product and masked by the 3” water and ocean mask datasets. less
1181.2 TERN Facility No9 InfoGrid GRUNDY - National Elevation and Terrain Datasets - Published 17 Mar 2016
This dataset depicts a national map of available ASS mapping and ASS qualification inferred from surrogate datasets. ASS mapping is classified with a nationally consistent legend that includes risk as... moresessment criteria and correlations between Australian and International Soil Classification Systems. Existing digital datasets of ASS mapping have been sourced from each coastal state and territory and combined into a single national dataset. Original state classifications have been translated to a common national classification system by the respective creators of the original data and other experts. This component of the Atlas is referred to as the “Coastal” ASS mapping. The remainder of Australia beyond the extent of state ASS mapping has been “backfilled” with a provisional ASS classification inferred from national and state soils, hydrography and landscape coverages. This component is referred to as the “Inland” ASS mapping. For the state Coastal ASS mapping, the mapping scale of source data ranges from 1:10K aerial photography in SA to 1:250K vegetation mapping in WA and NT, with most East coast mapping being at the 1:100K scale. For the backfilled inferred Inland ASS mapping the base scale is 1:2.5 million (except Tas.) overlaid with 1:250k hydography. As at 06/08, the Tasmanian inland mapping has been re-modelled using superior soil classification map derived from 1:100k landscape unit mapping. NOTE: This is composite data layer sourced from best available data with polygons depicted at varying scales and classified with varying levels of confidence. Great care must be taken when interpreting this map and particular attention paid to the “map scale” and confidence rating of a given polygon. It is stressed that polygons rated with Confidence = 4 are provisional classifications inferred from surrogate data with no on ground verification. Also some fields contain a “-“, denoting that a qualification was not able to be made, usually because a necessary component of source mapping coverage did not extend to the given polygon.less

The SRTM grid cell area dataset has values of cell area in square metres. The grid cell area product was derived from the Smoothed Digital Elevation Model (DEM-S; ANZCW0703014016), which was derived ... morefrom the 1 second resolution SRTM data acquired by NASA in February 2000. The calculation of grid cell area from the DEM-S accounted for the varying spacing between grid points in the geographic projection. less

MrVBF is a topographic index designed to identify areas of deposited material at a range of scales based on the observations that valley bottoms are low and flat relative to their surroundings and tha... moret large valley bottoms are flatter than smaller ones. Zero values indicate erosional terrain with values 1 and larger indicating progressively larger areas of deposition. There is some evidence that MrVBF values correlate with depth of deposited material. This collection includes 1 arc-second and 3 arc-second resolution versions of MrVBF. The 3 arc-second resolution product was generated from the 1 arc-second MrVBF product and masked by the 3” water and ocean mask datasets. less
