Files includes all primary input and output files.
Input files: The bi-seasonal NRM regional averages based in AWAP
Output files: Bi-seasonal reconstructions for cool and warm season for all NRM regions

Warm and Cool season* rainfall for the eight Natural Resource Management (NRM)** regions

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
File format provided: netcdf (.nc) and text format (.txt)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

1) Instrumental regional averages for each NRM region (1900-2015) based on the gridded Australian Water Availability Project (AWAP)

2) Reconstructed regional averages for each NRM region (1200-2015) based on a network of palaeoclimate records from the Southern Hemisphere

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Warm season (average precipitation in: Oct, Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb, Mar)
* Cool season (average precipitation in: Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep)

** NRM regions are defined by the CSIRO and Bureau of Meteorology (https://www.climatechangeinaustralia.gov.au/en/climate-projections/about/modelling-choices-and-methodology/regionalisation-schemes/) and should cited as followed: CSIRO and Bureau of Meteorology 2015, Climate Change in Australia Information for Australia's Natural Resource Management Regions: Technical Report, CSIRO and Bureau of Meteorology, Australia,2015.

Regions:
CS-Central Slopes
EC-East Coast
MB-Murray Basin
MN-Monsoonal North
R-Rangelands
SS-Southern Slopes
SSWF-Southern and South-Western Flatlands
WT-Wet Tropics
