International benchmarking of Australia’s climate model

We’ve updated Australia’s national climate model, the Australian Community Climate and Earth System Simulator (ACCESS), so it can participate in CMIP6 and therefore be used by national and international climate researchers.
Research projects
Understanding climate variability and extremes

We’ve analysed past climate variability and extremes to enhance our understanding of the underpinning climate drivers, and shed light on the extent to which these extreme events are influenced by human activities.
Research projects
Decadal prediction and the predictability of marine heatwaves

We’ve made significant steps towards developing a decadal forecasting system and capability to fill the critical gap between seasonal climate predictions and multi-decadal climate projections. We’ve also improved understanding of marine heat wave trends, causes, the influence of human activities and the predictability of ocean temperature extremes over multi-year to decadal timescales.
Research projects
Improving modelling of weather and climate extremes

We’ve improved ACCESS’s simulation of important climate processes in the Australasian region, focusing on rainfall and weather extremes, as well as climate variability and change.
Research projects
Improving accessibility of regional climate projections

We’ve improved confidence in projections, particularly rainfall projections; run targeted workshops, presentations and training to better identify user needs and help stakeholders access climate change information; and produced more targeted projection products for stakeholders to use in decision-making.
Research projects
Supporting sustainability of Australia’s future water resources

We’ve worked with state and federal government and water managers to identify gaps in hydroclimate metrics and improve climate-water modelling, and have developed methods to deliver next generation projections of future water availability and hydrologic variables or metrics important to the water and related sectors.
