Distance to a generalised coastline: ANUClimate 1.0, 0.01 degree, Australian Coverage, 1970-2012 

Distance to the generalised coastline can be used to support spatial modelling of daily maximum temperature and coastal windspeed profiles. The coastline was generalised by generalising the coverage of the GEODATA 9 second Australian digital elevation model (Hutchinson et al. 2008) to a spatial resolution of 0.025 degrees (longitude and latitude) and by further generalising the coastline where it is associated with the sheltering Facing Island off Gladstone on the Queensland coast and the deep coastal embayment at Hamelin Pool in Western Australia. A full description is in preparation.
