Abstract: he instrumental record for rainfall across Australia is regarded as being sufficiently reliable to produce national monthly gridded rainfall analyses from 1900 onward. Prior to 1900, the rainfall gauge network is much ...

Abstract: The consistency between rainfall projections obtained from direct climate model output and statistical downscaling is evaluated. Results are averaged across an area large enough to overcome the difference in spatial scale ...

Abstract: Anthropogenic climate change is likely to be felt most acutely through changes in the frequency of extreme meteorological events. However, quantifying the impact of climate change on these events is a challenge because the ...

Abstract: nalysis of the annual cycle of intensity, extent, and width of the Hadley circulation across a 31-yr period (1979?2009) from all existent reanalyses reveals a good agreement among the datasets. All datasets show that ...

Abstract: he strong relationship between eastern Australian winter?spring rainfall and tropical modes of variability such as the El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) does not extend to the heavily populated coastal strip east of the ...

Abstract: Interannual variations of Australian climate are strongly linked to the El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon. However, the impact of other mechanisms on prediction, such as atmosphere?land surface interactions, ...

Abstract: hanges of the Southern Hemisphere Hadley cell over the twentieth century are investigated using the Twentieth Century Reanalysis (20CR) and coupled model simulations from phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project ...

Abstract: The production of climate simulations using global coupled ocean?atmosphere models at high resolution is currently limited by computational expense and the long periods of integration that are necessary. A method of ...
