The role of clouds in coral bleaching events over the Great Barrier Reef
July 26, 2022 9:10 am Comments Off on The role of clouds in coral bleaching events over the Great Barrier ReefFurther understanding of the role of clouds may improve the knowledge of local atmosphere-ocean interactions, aiding the forecasting of coral bleaching events.
Multi-year La Niña events
June 28, 2022 9:07 am Comments Off on Multi-year La Niña eventsLa Niña is an important cause of rainfall variability of Australia. A multi-year La Niña event can be particularly important for some climate risks. Some climate models are indicating that La Niña may continue for a third year through spring and summer 2022-23, increasing the chances of more rain and flooding.
