Weather data for IRES users
Participants in the IRES (Irrigation Recording and Evaluation System) project using version 2 or later of the software can obtain weather data for use in the program from this web page.
The links allow you to download separate data files for Rainfall and ETo (evapotranspiration) from selected weather stations in the irrigation regions of South Australia.
Importing SILO forecast data into IRES v2.5.
SILO has changed the order that forecast data is displayed on the web page. IRES v2.5 will still read a downloaded SILO forecaster text file without crashing but the resultant forecast daily ETo which is calculated from the raw data via the embedded Penman-Monteith algorithm is incorrect. The problem will be fixed in the new version IRES 3.0 to be released early in 2008.

Place the mouse over the date range for the location and parameter required and Right click.
From the pop-up menu Left click on "Save Target As".
Then use the navigator panel to locate the C:\IRES\Downloads folder on your hard drive and click the Save button.
The file is then available for import by IRES into its climate database.
