- Abstract
-
The monthly rainfall for 17 rain gauges distributed across the paddocks of Calperum Station. These gauges were established to assess spatial and temporal variation in the rainfall across the station. Thirteen of the rain gauges were established on permanent photo-monitoring sites to enable comparisons between observed changes in vegetation and rainfall variation. Every attempt was made to collect data at the end of each month, but on occasions due to limited access some sites were not collected in some months and the next months rainfall represents a cumulative total. Months when gauges were not checked are recorded as “not read” or no data is entered.

- Description

Monthly Rainfall
Where possible the gauges are recorded and emptied on the last or first day of every month.
The gauges can be read to an accuracy of 0.5 mm. At least 2 cm of oil is placed in the gauge each month to reduce evaporation. For months with rain in excess of 25 mm the total for the month is calculated by tipping the water in the overflow cylinder into the graduated cylinder.
- Instrument
-
- Standard Canister Rain Gauges (26 mm graduated cylinder and overflow canister)
- Sampling
-
- Study Extent Description
-
The rain gauge system was established in 1995 and is distributed across 295,000 ha of Calperum Station.
- Sampling Description
-
Rain gauges were positioned in each of the orignal pastoral paddocks on the property, without any consideration of pre-conceived hypotheses of rainfall gradients. Data is collected monthly.
