accuCLIM Daily Weather Time Series: Accurate, high-resolution, mapped weather data for the Australian Wet Tropics World Heritage Area

A time-series of daily temperature maxima and minima maps from 1950 - Present. Data are mapped at 0.0025 degrees (~250 meters) spatial resolution and cover the entire extent of Queenslands Wet Tropics World Heritage Area. A large, independently collected set of weather data was used to spatially downscale AWAP daily weather layers of temperature maxima and minima to 0.0025 degree resolution as a function of key topographic and vegetation factors. For complete details of the statistical downscaling procedure see the associated research publication at https://dx.doi.org/10.1111/ddi.12068
