Understanding extreme humid heat and climate change

January 24, 2025

Extreme humid heat events are becoming more frequent due to climate change, and their effects on human health are becoming increasingly concerning. Learn about the risks and the research efforts to better understand and prepare for future heat extremes.

The Observation Range Adjusted Method: A Novel Approach to Accounting for Observation Uncertainty in Model Evaluation

June 27, 2024

Model evaluations are performed by comparing a modelled quantity with an observation of that quantity and any deviation from this observed quantity is considered an…

An Update on the Influence of Natural Climate Variability and Anthropogenic Climate Change on Tropical Cyclones

September 1, 2023

A substantial number of studies have been published since the Ninth International Workshop on Tropical Cyclones (IWTC-9) in 2018, improving our understanding of the effect of climate change on…

Tropical Cyclogenesis: Controlling Factors and Physical Mechanisms

September 1, 2023

In this review, advances in the understanding of the controlling factors and physical mechanisms of tropical cyclogenesis (TCG) are summarized from recent (2018–2022) research on TCG, as…

The Link Between the Madden-Julian Oscillation and Rainfall Trends in Northwest Australia

April 18, 2023

Rainfall during the monsoon in northwest Australia has increased since the 1950s. Previous studies have explored possible causes of the rainfall increase; however, the trend…

Establishing a Baseline for Thermal Stress Conditions – A High-Resolution Radiative Perspective

April 18, 2023

As Earth’s climate warms, outdoor thermal conditions that threaten human life are becoming more frequent and severe. To prepare and adapt effectively to this challenge,…

Event Attribution is Not Ready for a Major Role in Loss and Damage

April 17, 2023

Loss and damage funds are intended to support low-income regions experiencing impacts of human-caused climate change. Currently, event attribution should only play a limited role…

Identifying Historical Climate Changes in Australia Through Spatial Analogs

March 28, 2023

Spatial analogs have previously been used to communicate climate projections by comparing the future climate of a location with an analogous recent climate at a…

Projections of Synoptic Anticyclones for the Twenty-First Century

March 10, 2023

Synoptic anticyclones are a common feature of subtropical and midlatitude climate and are associated with descending air and clear conditions, while associated anticyclonic circulation anomalies…

Australian Climate Warming: Observed Change from 1850 and Global Temperature Targets

February 20, 2023

Mean annual temperature is often used as a benchmark for monitoring climate change and as an indicator of its potential impacts. The Paris Agreement of…

Crown Fire Initiation of a Thunderstorm

February 7, 2023

Understanding bushfire–atmosphere interactions is essential for accurate prediction of fire behaviour, and for the safe and effective strategic management of fires to mitigate risk to…

Types of Severe Convective Wind Events in Eastern Australia

January 31, 2023

Severe winds associated with thunderstorms and convection are a hazard affecting key aspects of society, including emergency management and infrastructure design. Several studies around the…

Climate Processes and Drivers in the Pacific and Global Warming: A Review for Informing Pacific Planning Agencies

January 19, 2023

Pacific Island countries are vulnerable to climate variability and change. Developing strategies for adaptation and planning processes in the Pacific requires new knowledge and updated information…

Statistical Framework for Western North Pacific Tropical Cyclone Landfall Risk through Modulation of the Western Pacific Subtropical High and ENSO

November 2, 2022

Seasonal predictions of tropical cyclone (TC) landfalls are challenging because seasonal landfall count not only depends on the number and spatial distribution of TC genesis,…

Rapid Warming in the Australian Alps from Observation and NARCliM Simulations

September 14, 2022

The Australian Alps are the highest mountain range in Australia, which are important for biodiversity, energy generation and winter tourism. Significant increases in temperature in…
