The fundamental input data of work undertaken by Water Modelling Team is climate data in the form of daily rainfall and potential evapotranspiration. This data is input to water models of varying types, purposes, and complexity. The water models transform this input data to produce a range of water related modelled data.

The stochastic climate data and palaeo stochastic climate data include 10,000 replicates of 130-yr daily data sets of rainfall and potential evapotranspiration generated using observed data sets without and with combined palaeo climate data. This work has been undertaken by researchers at the University of Newcastle and used in modelling for Greater Sydney Water Strategy.

Stochastic Climate data and palaeo stochastic climate data are available to download for Greater Sydney region from the Related Datasets section below.
