Research brief: How the IOD Changes with global warming
May 5, 2020 9:17 am Comments Off on Research brief: How the IOD Changes with global warmingAll data sources agree that positive IOD events are becoming stronger and occur more often and that the mean-state of the Indian Ocean is moving towards a more positive IOD-like state due to enhanced warming in the west compared to the east.
Research brief: How warm water reaches Antarctica
May 2, 2020 4:00 am Comments Off on Research brief: How warm water reaches AntarcticaUsing a high-resolution ocean model, CLEX researchers unexpectedly found 80% of the transport in the warm water layer, known as Circumpolar Deep Water, approaches Antarctica in the colder regions.
Research brief: CMIP5 and CMIP6 Projections of Australia’s future climate compared
April 22, 2020 12:22 pm Comments Off on Research brief: CMIP5 and CMIP6 Projections of Australia’s future climate comparedCLEX authors and colleagues from major Australian science organisations investigating climate examined the simulation of Australian climate in the new, state-of-the-art Coupled Model Intercomparison Project, phase 6 (CMIP6) models.
Research brief: Okubo‐Weiss zeta parameter top performer for tracking frequency of future cyclones
April 16, 2020 10:06 am Comments Off on Research brief: Okubo‐Weiss zeta parameter top performer for tracking frequency of future cyclonesNew research finds Okubo-Weiss-Zeta parameter scheme has superior performance detecting tropical cyclone frequency characteristics compared to the CSIRO tracking scheme.
Research Brief: ROME among the clouds with new radar metric
April 15, 2020 1:51 pm Comments Off on Research Brief: ROME among the clouds with new radar metricTo better assess the degree of organisation in radar observations CLEX researchers developed the Radar Organisation Metric (ROME). ROME's statistical properties suggest it is able to distinguish between the degree of convective organisation, and it also captures different regimes of the monsoon in Northern Australia.
Research brief: New energy/water dataset obeys energy conservation laws
April 15, 2020 10:26 am Comments Off on Research brief: New energy/water dataset obeys energy conservation lawsThis study presents a method for combining multiple observational datasets of the energy and water budgets at the land surface from different sources into a single hybrid dataset that conserves energy and mass.
Research brief: Southern Ocean vortices are changing
October 22, 2019 2:26 pm Comments Off on Research brief: Southern Ocean vortices are changingThe energy of vortices in the Southern Ocean has increased over the past two decades due to an increase in the mean amplitude of the vortices rather than an increase in their number.
Research brief: Gravity waves cause unusual turbulence
October 15, 2019 4:18 pm Comments Off on Research brief: Gravity waves cause unusual turbulenceThis research uses commercial aircraft data and high-resolution simulations to study a case in 2005 over the United States where severe turbulence was encountered about 50km away from a large mesoscale convective system. Of relevance, current aviation turbulence avoidance guidelines recommend avoiding storms by 32 km (20 miles).
Enter the Plastisphere
October 3, 2019 11:33 am Comments Off on Enter the PlastisphereIntergenerational equity was the theme of last weekend. On Friday I attended the Climate Strike in Melbourne. The crowd was massive as people of all ages and all walks of life gathered to tell the leaders of the world that we wanted real action on climate change.
