The Southern Ocean plays a crucial role in the Earth's climate system, however its intricate dynamics remain poorly understood. Co-authored by over thirty Australian and New Zealand climate science experts, a new paper shows that cross-disciplinary collaboration and community building are important for solving the mysteries of the Southern Ocean’s dynamic climate systems.

In 2015, world leaders of 195 nations agreed to limit global warming to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase even further to 1.5°C. While this year-long exceedance of 1.5°C doesn’t break the commitments made in the Paris Agreement, scientists warn that it does bring us closer to the red line.

Accurate projections of climate change and associated extreme events under differing emission scenarios are linked to realistic representations of the temporal variability of the atmosphere at a variety of time scales. A new paper by Shao et al. (2024) introduces a novel time variability correction method designed to diagnose and rectify variance errors across a range of time scales.

Corals are particularly sensitive to weather conditions over the Great Barrier Reef. Researchers from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes have found that the Madden-Julian Oscillation and the El Niño-Southern Oscillation influence weather patterns over the region, contributing to the rising threat of coral bleaching.

Climate scientists have found that the increase in aridity in drylands in response to climate change won't lead to a general loss of vegetation productivity. Instead, most of the global drylands are projected to become greener and more productive with climate change.
