In this webinar, John Clarke will provide a demonstration of how to use the newly released Thresholds Calculator v2.0 to estimate the frequency of future hot, cold, wet and dry extremes under different emissions scenarios.
Our new State of the Climate report draws on the latest monitoring, science and projection information to describe variability and changes in Australia's climate.
In this webinar, discover the science behind the report and have your questions answered by the experts.
Dr Julian O’Grady (CSIRO) Overview Extreme sea levels caused by a combination of the tide, storm surge and waves have the potential to cause significant damage to coastal assets. For example, who can forget the dramatic images of the swimming pool sliding into the ocean on Sydney’s northern beaches caused by a storm in June 2016?... View Article
Mapping land dryness at high resolution for fire prediction Vinodkumar, Imtiaz Dharssi and Paul Fox-Hughes Bureau of Meteorology Accurate soil moisture information is essential for the monitoring and prediction of fire danger, soil moisture being an important factor in determining the moisture content and flammability of fuels. The soil moisture status in operational... View Article
Zaved Khan (Bureau of Meteorology). Modelling seasonal rainfall forecasts forced with improved predictive ocean surface temperature Seasonal rainfall forecasts are in high demand for users such as irrigators and water managers in decision making and risk management. Both statistical and dynamical models are widely used to generate probabilistic rainfall forecasts in advance for a season.... View Article
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
