Common use of Preferred datasets Clause in Contracts

Preferred datasets. a) Climate data from the Bureau of Meteorology can be used for actual climate variables—as opposed to WorldClim Data, which tends to be based on averages. b) Since many incursions originate from ports and airports—a distance to ports and airports is very useful. c) Similarly, water feature data can be analysed based on, for example, the distance to perennial or ephemeral rivers or lakes. d) Additional data sets that may be used as secondary data are: e) The Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics (ABARES) land use/cover; f) Heritage features, such protected sites, World Heritage Areas and the national estate; and g) NVIS data sets for native vegetation; and Vegetation Assets States and Transition (VAST) data to indicate vegetation condition. h) Due to the scale of the input data, the analysis should be made at the native resolution level and presented as a 10 km x 10 km grid.

Preferred datasets. (a) Catchment maps, since incursions move upstream and downstream from the index case. (b) Climate data from the Bureau of Meteorology can be used for actual climate variables—as opposed to WorldClim DataWorldClim, which tends to be based on averages. b(c) Since many incursions originate from ports and airports—ports, aquaculture facilities or towns, a distance to ports ports, aquaculture facilities and airports towns is very useful. c(d) Similarly, water feature data can be analysed based on, for example, the distance to perennial or ephemeral rivers or lakes. d(e) Additional data sets that may be used as secondary data are: e(i) The Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES) land use/cover; f(ii) Heritage features, such protected sites, World Heritage Areas and the national estate; and g) NVIS data sets for native vegetation; and Vegetation Assets States and Transition (VAST) data to indicate vegetation condition. h(f) Due to the scale of the input data, the analysis should be made at the native resolution level and presented as a 10 km x 10 km grid.
