The Drought program farewells Michael Roderick who has retired and looks over an extensive range of research that has been carried out despite the global pandemic. Some significant model improvements, new datasets and deeper insights into past and future climates show the depth of the research effort.
Extreme weather conditions and a changing climate are often recognised by their immediate effects. But as research coming out of the Heatwaves and Cold Air Outbreaks program has shown over the past four months, these events are often generated by distant influences and when they occur have further impact beyond their immediate vicinity.
Nova pesquisa desvendou que a seca severa que ocorreu no sudeste do Brasil no verão de 2013/14 associada a calor extremo tem uma causa comum, um evento climático distante que ocorreu no Oceano Índico. O estudo liderado pela professora da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina Dra. Regina R. Rodrigues com colaboração de pesquisadores do Centro de Excelência em Extremos Climáticos (CLEX) da Austrália e NOAA dos EUA, sugere que não é a primeira vez que o Oceano Índico levou a...
