The Australian Community Reference Climate Data Collection @ NCI is a collaboration between the Australian Climate Service (ACS), ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes (CLEX) and the wider Australian climate research community to re-establish and maintain a reference dataset collection at NCI (i.e. reanalysis datasets, gridded observational products, etc).

The purpose of this survey is to collect information from the Australian climate research community about the datasets (and variables and timescales within those datasets) people would like to see included in the collection. We won't be able to support every dataset, but we'll do our best to support those that are widely requested.

(Note: Some of the datasets listed in the survey are already available in CLEX's ua8 project but will be potentially moved to the new collection.)

This initial section of the survey collects contact details in case we need to get in touch to ask more questions about the datasets you've listed.

If you have any questions about the survey or the reference collection more broadly, please contact Paola Petrelli (paola.petrelli@utas.edu.au) or Damien Irving (damien.irving@csiro.au).
