In a world first, Centre postdoctoral researcher Dr Mat Lipson and colleagues partnered with Australian companies AURIN and Geoscape to transform the way cities can be integrated in weather and climate models. The research was enabled by a new generation of sub-metre urban morphology data sets covering entire continents and powered by machine learning, satellite imagery and remote sensing. From these new data sets they could, for the first time, configure our urban climate models across large geographical extents with... View Article

Time of emergence is a concept showing when the trend in a climate variable emerges above the “noise” of natural climate variability. A study led by Centre of Excellence PhD student Xu (Pete) Deng used large ensembles of the latest state-of-the-art climate models and a range of future scenarios to understand this concept for temperature extremes over Australia. The strongest warming levels, and therefore earlier time of emergence, are projected under the highest future scenario, with tropical Australia usually showing... View Article

The year 2022 has been a big one for the Computational Modelling Systems (CMS) team. We have seen some of our colleagues leave, after many years of working together; Paola Petrelli stepped up as the new CMS team leader; and we welcomed three new members: Ramzi Kutteh, Sam Green and Dale Roberts. A year has passed that has felt busy and intense; but at the end of it, what have we done? When you are in a support role –... View Article

Numerical models of the weather and climate system are key research tools in gaining a deeper understanding of the mechanisms that generate climate extremes. They are also our primary tool in assessing how these extremes may be affected as our planet warms. The Modelling research program at the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes is therefore an underpinning and enabling activity that develops improved simulations, tools and procedures for use in all research programs across the Centre. PROJECT 1... View Article

As the tropical climate warms, the intensity of rainfall and winds associated with the Madden-Julian Oscillation as well as their patterns may change, leading to intense debate and scrutiny of how extratropical weather will be affected.

If we don't properly represent clouds in climate models, there will be errors in the projections we make.
