NESP Webinar: How will rainfall change in Northern Australia over the coming century?

NESP Webinar Online

In this webinar, Dr Josephine Brown will talk about her work on exploring the causes of model uncertainty in projections of Northern Australian rainfall, including efforts to limit this uncertainty using information about model skill, observations of recent trends and understanding of the relevant physical processes. This information will be used to improve the next generation of regional projections.

A large part of this variability is internally generated as a result of instabilities of the coupled atmosphere-ocean-ice-carbon cycle system. Other modes of variability, such as glacial cycles, are caused by astronomical forcings with periods of 20, 40,... View Article
