Abstract: This paper presents some additional results on the use of an automatic scheme for tracking surface cyclones and anticyclones. The Southern Hemisphere (SH) total amount of synoptic tracks (every 12 h) was analyzed for the ...

Abstract: The association between Southern Hemisphere cyclones and anticyclones and the El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO), southern annular mode (SAM), Antarctic sea ice extent (SIE), and rainfall in Perth and Melbourne is explored. ...

Abstract: Cold events (CEs) are an important feature of southern Australian weather. Unseasonably cold conditions can have a significant impact on Australia?s agricultural industry and other aspects of society. In this study the ...

Abstract: A global climatology for rapid cyclone intensification has been produced from the second NCEP reanalysis (NCEP2), the 25-yr Japanese Reanalysis (JRA-25), and the ECMWF reanalyses over the period 1979?2008. An improved ...

Abstract: In March 2001, a hybrid low pressure system, unofficially referred to as Donald (or the Duck), developed in the Tasman Sea under tropical?extratropical influence, making landfall on the southeastern Australian coast. Here, ...

Abstract: xtremes such as summer heat waves and winter warm spells have a significant impact on the climate of Australia, with many regions experiencing an increase in the frequency and duration of these events since the mid-twentieth ...

Abstract: tmospheric and oceanic conditions associated with southern Australian heat waves are examined using phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) models. Accompanying work analyzing modeled heat wave statistics ...
