Our new media strategy following our mid-term review, which aims to reach out to stakeholders beyond academia, is already bearing fruit. And this new focus received a real boost with the release of the IPCC Working Group 1 report.
The majority of heatwaves affecting south-eastern Australia are part of large and strong weather systems propagating across Australia, and not due to stationary or blocked weather systems as seen in some other regions of the world.
A lot has happened over the past few months with the publication of high-profile and challenging research and the continuing growth, development and recognition for the RP4 team.
Research by CLEX scientists and colleagues re-examines some of the basic assumptions and interpretations in the theory. In particular, they show the SAM cannot be interpreted as a descriptor of mid-latitude variability and it has little imprint on the weather of the storm track.
This study answers the questions: how different is the meteorology of heatwaves in NSW from those in Victoria, and how representative were the heatwaves of 2017 of previous heatwaves in NSW?
AMOS awards, international visitors, cross program research with the drought team, and multiple papers have made it a busy time for the Heatwaves and Cold Air Outbreaks Research Program.
Weather time scales will be needed for models to accurately simulate the dynamic contribution to future precipitation changes with global warming. This will better reproduce spatial patterns and reduce regional uncertainties, especially in the tropics.
Two papers by Centre of Excellence researchers are the first to systematically investigate and document hybrid cyclones in the Australian region.
Chief Operating Officer, Stephen Gray, looks back on the annual workshop, discusses the new database to replace Clever and highlights the hump-day tips that have been developed by the Culture and Diversity committee.
If you are a young researcher chasing a DECRA, then this is a session you can’t miss. From 10am-noon next Tuesday, October 23, CLEX will hold a researcher development videoconference discussing DECRA fellowships. The videoconference will start with a short overview of the DECRA followed by an interactive Q&A. The panel includes: Andy Pitman, Michael Reeder and Leela Frankcombe The objective of this session is to provide support and advice for those considering applying for a DECRA that is complementary to...
