The CRES_PY shapefile data layer is comprised of 1004351 derivative calculated climate features derived based on 0.5 data originally from CRES/FAO. The layer provides nominal analytical/mapping at 1:220 000 000. Acronyms and Abbreviations: CRES - Centre for Resource and Environmental Studies, The Australian National University (ANU). Vectorized polygon reference for CRES data, allows for the mapping of derivative grids as vectors in standard GIS environments.

In order to enhance the non-grid based capabilities of the AWRD, a polygonal and point representation of the base grid was translated into shapefile format in decimal degrees, followed by the creation of annual tables consolidating the data represented.
