Everything you need to know about the latest in climate modelling

November 18, 2024

Climate models are becoming more advanced and can simulate an increasing range of climate processes. These improvements are the result of having more observational data to calibrate the models, a better understanding of atmospheric processes and interactions, more sophisticated analytical techniques, and accelerating computer capabilities.

2024 National First People’s Gathering on Climate Change

What made eastern Australia so wet from 2020 to 2022?

November 12, 2024

From 2020 to 2022, eastern Australia had much more rain than usual. In these years, three La Niña events occurred in a row, only the third occurrence of a triple La Niña since the 1950s. Under climate change, most models project a decline in winter-spring rainfall in southeastern Australia, and the influence of ENSO on rainfall is likely to strengthen. This would suggest increased drying during El Niño years but extreme La Niña-related rainfall may increase.
