Seminar: Is there any evidence of a poleward expansion in the subtropical jet stream in either hemisphere?

Climate Change Research Centre (CCRC) 4th Floor, Matthews Building, UNSW, Kensington, NSW, Australia

Penny Maher (University of Utrecht) The tropics are expanding poleward at about 1 degree per decade in observations. The Hadley cell edge is one common measure of tropical expansion. One alternative method is the trend in the subtropical jet position. Unlike the Hadley cell edge, the observed trends in the subtropical jet position are much... View Article

Seminar: Energetic constraints on climate model errors in precipitation

Climate Change Research Centre (CCRC) 4th Floor, Matthews Building, UNSW, Kensington, NSW, Australia

Prof Christian Jakob (Monash University). Climate models have significant errors in precipitation globally, but in particular in the tropics. Most models overestimate annual mean tropical precipitation, with the largest errors occurring over the warm tropical oceans of the Western Pacific, Indian Ocean and Atlantic. In addition to the mean errors, there are significant shortcomings in... View Article

Alberto Arribas (UK Met Office). A new paradigm for environmental research and exploitation?

During the last 70 years, solving physical equations on High Performance Computers has been the main workhorse of weather, climate and environmental research and prediction. It has been a fantastic ride,  substantially improving our understanding and boosting our forecasting capabilities. However, Moore's law is over, the energy cost of HPC is hardly affordable, and increasing... View Article

Climatic Changes or Regional Human Activities? Lake Urmia Desiccation

Australian German Climate and Energy College Level 1, 187 Grattan St, Parkville, Victoria, Australia

(University of Melbourne).   Climatic Changes or Regional Human Activities? Lake Urmia Desiccation Description On the topic of climate change, there are two camps of politicians absolving themselves from responsibility. Politicians who deny or cast scepticism about the anthropogenic nature of climate change and/or its substantial implications; and those who blame climate change for the... View Article
