Proportion of the local area that is ocean is used to support spatial modelling of daily minimum temperature. The local area is defined by a circle with radius 5 km centred on each 0.01 degree grid point. The portion of the circle that is ocean was determined by intersecting the circle with the 1:00,000 scale digital Australian coastline. A full description is in preparation.Â
