Monthly Rainfall Erosivity (R-factor) for New South Wales, 2001-2010

Rainfall Erosivity (R-factor) data for New South Wales from 2001 to 2010 was published by the NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water. The dataset provides monthly aggregated values, likely used for soil erosion modeling. It was last updated on the data.gov.au platform in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Model soil erosion risk based on monthly rainfall erosivity values.
• Analyze seasonal and inter-annual trends in rainfall erosivity for New South Wales.
• Calibrate hydrological models using the R-factor as an input parameter.
• Assess the impact of climate variability on soil conservation planning.

Strengths

• Covers a 10-year period from 2001 to 2010.
• Published by a government environmental department, suggesting an authoritative source.
• Data is provided at a monthly temporal resolution.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to data_gov_au, focusing solely on New South Wales.
