Oceano Índico causa secas na América do Sul e ondas de calor marinhas no Atlântico Sul

July 9, 2019 1:00 am Published by Comments Off on Oceano Índico causa secas na América do Sul e ondas de calor marinhas no Atlântico Sul

Nova pesquisa desvendou que a seca severa que ocorreu no sudeste do Brasil no verão de 2013/14 associada a calor extremo tem uma causa comum, um evento climático distante que ocorreu no Oceano Índico. O estudo liderado pela professora da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina Dra. Regina R. Rodrigues com colaboração de pesquisadores do Centro de Excelência em Extremos Climáticos (CLEX) da Austrália e NOAA dos EUA, sugere que não é a primeira vez que o Oceano Índico levou a...

Un nuevo estudio científico ha demostrado que la secuencia de eventos climáticos en Sudamérica en 2013/14 que incluyó sequía y olas de calor terrestres y marinas se originó a partir de un fenómeno climático en el lado opuesto del mundo –en el Océano Índico. Los resultados del estudio que fueron publicados en Nature Geoscience por un grupo internacional de científicos de la Universidad Federal de Santa Catarina en Brasil, del ARC Centro de Excelencia de Extremos Climáticos en Australia y...

Project A: Mixed-phase Clouds and Precipitation Processes over the Southern Ocean Main Supervisor: Dr Yi Huang (The University of Melbourne) Co-supervisor: Dr Robyn Schofield (The University of Melbourne) Co-supervisor: Prof Steven Siems (Monash University) This project will involve collaboration with the Australian Bureau of Meteorology and the UK Met Office.  Clouds and precipitation over the Southern Ocean (SO) remain poorly understood and a major barrier to improving the representation of a coupled climate system. This limits our ability to forecast... View Article

PhD Opportunity: Unravelling the representation of realistic urban neighbourhoods in large scale climate modelling

April 29, 2019 10:22 am Published by Comments Off on PhD Opportunity: Unravelling the representation of realistic urban neighbourhoods in large scale climate modelling

This project will apply state-of-the-art computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations of microscale urban flow such as large eddy simulations to develop a 1-D (multi-layer) model of turbulent flow with detailed parameterisation regarding the role of geometry; surface heating and material; and vegetation.
