NSW Aridity Index - High resolution (30 meter) |
Abstract |
The aridity index, also known as the Budyko radiative index of dryness, is a dimensionless parameter that represents the long-term balance between net radiation and precipitation. The method used to generate the high-resolution aridity index layer across New South Wales was developed by Nyman et al., 2014. To create the high-resolution (30 m) aridity index layer for New South Wales, the following parameters were used: 1 arc second monthly net radiation and shortwave radiation ratio, 30 years of historical data encompassing precipitation and surface temperature from the period 1992 to 2021, 30-meter Shuttle Radar Topography Mission digital elevation model, and 30-meter Leaf Area Index layer which provides insights into the density and distribution of vegetation across the region. The aridity index layer is a high-resolution dataset that allows identification of finer-scale variations in local moisture balance related to aspect unlike existing aridity index layers. This dataset serves as a valuable tool for understanding and managing water resources, assessing environmental conditions, and informing decision-making in a wide range of applications related to water management, land use, and climate change adaptation. The Aridity Index factsheet provides more information about the method and some potential application of the layer. |
