Central Weather Bureau OpenData

Various kinds of weather raw data and charts from Central Weather Administration.

The Bureau of Meteorology high-resolution Regional Reanalysis for Australia (BARRA) is a high-resolution multi-decadal regional atmospheric reanalysis. The reanalysis provides information about surface conditions (such as temperature, precipitation, wind speed and direction, humidity, evaporation and soil moisture), information on multiple pressure and model levels, and information on solar radiation and cloud cover. The reanalysis suite is based on the Australian Community Climate Earth-System Simulator (ACCESS) and extends 70 levels (up to 80 km) into the atmosphere. It is nested within the required boundary and/or initial conditions provided by ERA-Interim reanalysis, Operational SST and Sea Ice Analysis, and the Bureau offline soil moisture reanalysis. The region covered by the reanalysis is the Australian continent, and the surrounding region including parts of southeast Asia, New Zealand, and south to the ice edge of the Antarctic continent. The suite contains 5 dataset[...]

The 2010 Census Production Settings Redistricting Data (P.L. 94-171) Demonstration Noisy Measurement File (2023-04-03) is an intermediate output of the 2020 Census Disclosure Avoidance System (DAS) TopDown Algorithm (TDA) (as described in Abowd, J. et al [2022] https://doi.org/10.1162/99608f92.529e3cb9 , and implemented in https://github.com/uscensusbureau/DAS2020RedistrictingProductionCode). The NMF was produced using the official “production settings,” the final set of algorithmic parameters and privacy-loss budget allocations, that were used to produce the 2020 Census Redistricting Data (P.L. 94-171) Summary File and the 2020 Census Demographic and Housing Characteristics File. The NMF consists of the full set of privacy-protected statistical queries (counts of individuals or housing units with particular combinations of characteristics) of confidential 2010 Census data relating to the redistricting data portion of the 2010 Demonstration Data Products Suite – Re[...]

BARRA2 presents a moderate-resolution regional atmospheric reanalysis (BARPA-R2/RE2) and a kilometre-scale downscaled reanalysis (BARRA-C2) over Australia and surrounding regions, spanning from January 1979 to present day. BARRA2 can be used for weather and climate research, case studies of past weather events, studying climate variability and developing climatology products, driving impact modelling (e.g., hydrological, coastal, and fire), evaluation and calibration of other modelling work (e.g., seasonal and climate projections). BARRA2 includes: BARRA-R2 (Regional Version 2) Product: BARRA-R2 is a moderate-resolution (12 km) regional atmospheric reanalysis over Australia and the surrounding regions including parts of southeast Asia and New Zealand. The dataset includes hourly, 3-hourly, daily and monthly data for temperature, moisture, wind and flux variables at sub-surface, surface, and pressure levels, and heights above surface. The vertical levels include 1000, 950, [...]
