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…

Australia’s Future Extratropical Cyclones

November 17, 2022

Extratropical cyclones, low pressure systems, are responsible for the majority of total and extreme rainfall in many regions outside the tropics, including in southern Australia….

Global Carbon Budget 2022

November 11, 2022

Accurate assessment of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and their redistribution among the atmosphere, ocean, and terrestrial biosphere in a changing climate is critical to…

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,…

Climate and Agricultural risk: Assessing the Impacts of Major Climate Drivers on Australian Cotton Production

October 1, 2022

Climate variability and extremes adversely impacts Australian cotton crop production and imposes a major constraint on farm planning, industry supply chains and resource allocation. This study…

Storylines of South Pacific Convergence Zone Changes in a Warmer World

September 23, 2022

The South Pacific convergence zone (SPCZ) is evaluated in simulations of historical climate from phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) and phase…

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…

Suppressed Atlantic Niño/Niña Variability under Greenhouse Warming

September 1, 2022

The Atlantic Niño/Niña is a dominant mode of interannual variability peaking in boreal summer with substantial climate impacts. How the Atlantic Niño/Niña sea surface temperature…

Large Loss and Rapid Recovery of Vegetation Cover and Aboveground Biomass over Forest Areas in Australia during 2019–2020

September 1, 2022

Australia experienced multi-year drought, record high temperatures and forest fires over the extensive areas of southeast Australia in 2019 and early 2020. The knowledge on…

Mid-Pliocene El Niño/Southern Oscillation Suppressed by Pacific Intertropical Convergence Zone Shift

August 11, 2022

The El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO), the dominant driver of year-to-year climate variability in the equatorial Pacific Ocean, impacts climate pattern across the globe. However, the…

Preparing for a Post-Net-Zero World

August 11, 2022

Current greenhouse gas emissions will continue to affect the climate even after we reach net-zero emissions. There is a clear knowledge gap that must be…
