BOM01: Effects of compound hot and dry events on agricultural production in australia

August 23, 2021 8:24 am Published by Comments Off on BOM01: Effects of compound hot and dry events on agricultural production in australia

The aim of this project is to investigate the effect of compound hot and dry events on agricultural production in Australia, and to assess the predictability of yield losses due to compound events using seasonal climate and hydrological forecasts. The outcome of the project may inform the development of seasonal forecasts of hydro-climatic risk indicators for agricultural production in Australia.

RP3 Drought report – April 2021

April 14, 2021 11:22 am Published by Comments Off on RP3 Drought report – April 2021

Understanding what causes droughts and what brings about their conclusion is key work in a dry continent like Australia. Often, we use computer models and modern observations to reach our conclusions but sometimes the clues to these questions can be uncovered in the past.

Research brief: Extreme events in SE Australia to increase in frequency by 2100

March 25, 2021 12:01 pm Published by Comments Off on Research brief: Extreme events in SE Australia to increase in frequency by 2100

This paper used statistical techniques to investigate changes in extreme climate events that currently occur, on average, only once every 20 years. These techniques are applied to data related to heat, rainfall, drought and conditions conducive to bushfires and thunderstorms from detailed climate modelling commissioned by NSW and ACT Governments.

RP3 Drought Report – December 2020

December 14, 2020 11:01 am Published by Comments Off on RP3 Drought Report – December 2020

A major component of the research in the Drought program over the past four months has focused on the interface between real-world data and climate models. The aim of much of this research has been to improve how land surface models represent some of the key processes that influence the length, and severity of drought.
