Palaeo Stochastic Climate Data for Greater Sydney Water Modelling

10,000 replicates of 130-year daily rainfall and potential evapotranspiration data generated using observed and palaeoclimate records. The dataset was created by researchers at the University of Newcastle for the Greater Sydney Water Strategy. It includes data for specific SILO stations such as Yerrinbool, Camden Airport, and Jamberoo.

Use Cases

• Assess long-term water security based on 130-year stochastic climate replicates.
• Model hydrological risk using 10,000 replicates of daily rainfall and evapotranspiration.
• Calibrate water system models for Greater Sydney using station-specific palaeoclimate-informed data.

Strengths

• Contains 10,000 stochastic replicates for robust probabilistic analysis.
• Each replicate provides 130 years of daily data for long-term trend assessment.
• Data is informed by combined observed and palaeoclimate records.

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 the specific SILO stations listed.
