02 9385 2111 david.keith@unsw.edu.au The Mallee Plot Network Weather Station Data package contains precipitation data from automatic (Tarawi Homestead, established 1994) and visually monitored weather stations (Tarawi Nature Reserve, Scotia Sanctuary, established 1996-2006). Prior to that time, rainfall records had been maintained since 1941 by visually monitored rain gauge. Four additional visually monitored rain gauges were established in Tarawi NR in January 1997, a further five were established in May 2001, and two were established in Scotia Sanctuary in September 2007. The Mallee Plot Network research plots commenced in 1996 and were revisited annually for 3 years and then on a decadal basis.

Automatic weather stations were established at Tarawi Homestead and Scotia Sanctuary homestead in 1994. They record precipitation. Prior to that time, rainfall records had been maintained since 1941 by visually monitored rain gauge. Four additional visually monitored rain gauges were established in Tarawi NR in January 1997, a further five were established in May 2001, and two were established in Scotia Sanctuary in September 2007.
