Abstract: The present study assesses the ability of climate models to simulate rainfall teleconnections with the El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the Indian Ocean dipole (IOD). An assessment is provided on 24 climate models ...

Abstract: Simulations of individual global climate drivers using models from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 3(CMIP3) have been examined; however, the relationship among them has not been assessed. This is carried ...

Abstract: An asymmetry, and its multidecadal variability, in a rainfall teleconnection with the El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) are described. Further, the breakdown of this relationship since 1980 is offered as a cause for a ...

Abstract: evere rainfall deficiencies have plagued southern and eastern Australian regions over the past decades, where the long-term rainfall is projected to decrease. By contrast, there has been an increase over northwest Australia ...

Abstract: AbstractThe Southern Ocean surface has freshened in recent decades, increasing water column stability and reducing upwelling of warmer subsurface waters. The majority of CMIP5 models underestimate or fail to capture this ...
