Monthly Rainfall Erosivity Over New South Wales for 2005

New South Wales rainfall erosivity data for each month of 2005. The dataset is provided by the NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water and was last updated in May 2026. It is available in PDF and GEOTIFF formats under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Model soil erosion risk based on monthly rainfall erosivity.
• Analyze seasonal patterns of erosive rainfall events across New South Wales.
• Calibrate hydrological models using geospatial rainfall intensity data.
• Assess land management strategies by correlating erosivity with land cover.

Strengths

• Data is provided by a state government environmental department, suggesting authoritative sourcing.
• Covers a specific, complete year (2005) for temporal analysis.
• Available in a standard geospatial format (GEOTIFF) for GIS integration.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The temporal coverage is limited to a single year (2005), which may not be representative of long-term trends.
• The description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
