Overview

When running a simulation Phoenix obtains input data from 3 sources.

1. Data entered into the application directly, and saved in the project file,
2. Files in the Gridded_Weather directory, and
3. Files in the Data directory.

This document describes the data files that are obtained from the Gridded_Weather and Data directories.

The Gridded Weather directory is expected to contain NetCDF files obtained from the BOM.

The Data directory contains a variety of possible input layers that must be created by hand.

Gridded Weather

Data layers

In Victoria, we suggest using "VicGrid 94" which is a Lambert Conformal Conic Projection with a GDA 94 reference Datum.
Across Australia, we suggest "Geoscience Australia Lambert 94" projection which is a Lambert Conformal Conic Projection with a GDA 94 reference Datum.
