You upload the following two data types for your weather days:
Point data—weather data recorded at a specific geographic location (point) and applied to a broader area. It incorporates changes in time. You can view the charts on individual point data weather day’s overflow menu (three dots).
NetCDF data—weather data that incorporates how weather changes geospatially and in time. NetCDF files you upload must cover the entire state of NSW. Incorporates how weather changes geospatially in addition to just time for point weather.
For more information on Point and NetCDF data, see Weather library inputs.
