    Description

    As of December 2022, the highest recorded temperature in Australia was at Onslow Airport in Western Australia, where the temperature was **** degrees Celsius. This was matched by the highest temperature recorded at Oodnadatta Airport, South Australia, in 1960. What is causing increasing temperatures? The annual mean temperature deviation in the country has increased over the past century. In 2024, the annual national mean temperature was **** degrees Celsius above average. Climate experts agree that the major climate driver responsible for the heat experienced in Australia was a positive Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD). This is where sea surface temperatures are cooler in the eastern half of the Indian Ocean than the western half. The discrepancy in temperatures led to drier, warmer conditions across Australia. Global warming due to greenhouse gas emissions has been linked to the warming of sea surface temperatures and the IOD. Social change While the topic of global warming is undoubtedly controversial, many people perceive global warming as influencing Australia’s climate. In 2023, around ** percent of Australians believed climate change was occurring. Furthermore, around **** of Australians agreed that their government was not doing enough in terms of climate change action.

    Description

    In 2024, the mean temperature deviation in Australia was 1.46 degrees Celsius higher than the reference value for that year, indicating a positive anomaly. Over the course of the last century, mean temperature anomaly measurements in Australia have exhibited an overall increasing trend. Temperature trending upwards Global land temperature anomalies have been fluctuating since the start of their measurement but show an overall upward tendency. Australian mean temperatures have followed this trend and continued to rise as well. Considered the driest inhabited continent on earth, this has severe consequences for the country. In particular, the south of Australia is predicted to become susceptible to drought, which could lead to an increase in bushfires as well. The highest temperatures recorded in Australia as of 2022 were measured in South Australia and Western Australia, both exceeding 50 degrees. The 2019/2020 bushfire season Already prone to wildfires due to its dry climate, the change in temperature has made Australia even more vulnerable to an increase in bushfires. One of the worst wildfires in Australia, and on a global level as well, happened during the 2019/2020 bushfire season. The combination of the hottest days and the lowest annual mean rainfall in 20 years resulted in a destruction of 12.5 million acres. New South Wales was the region with the largest area burned by bushfires in that year, a major part of which was conservation land.

    Description

    The Bureau of Meteorology provides the Australian and international maritime communities with weather forecasts, warnings and observations for coastal waters areas and high seas around Australia. …Show full descriptionThe Bureau of Meteorology provides the Australian and international maritime communities with weather forecasts, warnings and observations for coastal waters areas and high seas around Australia. Generally most of these services are provided routinely throughout the day, while marine weather warnings may be issued at any time when the need becomes apparent. Because of the complex nature of the sea, the Bureau of Meteorology uses advanced computer models to predict the physical characteristics of the ocean. These computer forecasts are used by meteorologists in the preparation of marine forecasts and warnings. The forecasts include wind, weather, sea and swell and are intended to describe the average conditions over specified areas. Marine forecasts have been enhanced by the inclusion of ocean currents and sea-surface temperature forecasts through the BLUElink ocean forecasting initiative. The Sea Surface Temperature Browse Service provides access to browse images (1:5 resolution) of satellite derived Daily Sea Surface Temperature data available from 30 December 1998. The Bureau currently uses measurements from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) on board the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) series of polar orbiting satellites to derive SSTs for the Australian region. The data is calibrated and quality controlled against SST data collected from ships and drifting buoys. The SSTs are used in real time operations and also archived as the data as part of Australia's National Climate Record. This record also provides links to BOM Ocean Analysis data including Daily/Weekly/Monthly records of Australian and Global Sea Surface and Subsurface Temperatures.

    Description

    Daily (1981-2019), monthly (1981-2019) and monthly mean (1981-2010) surfaces of maximum temperature (approx. 1.2 m from ground) across Victoria at a spatial resolution of 9 seconds (approx. 250 m). Surfaces are developed using trivariate splines (latitude, longitude and elevation) with partial dependence upon standardised day time MODIS land surface temperature. Lineage: A) Data modelling: 1. Weather station observations collected by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology were obtained via the SILO patched point dataset (https://data.qld.gov.au/dataset/silo-patched-point-datasets-for-queensland), followed by the removal of all interpolated records. 2. Climate normals representing the 1981-2010 reference period were calculated for each weather station. A regression patching procedure (Hopkinson et al. 2012) was used to correct for biases arising due to differences in record length where possible. 3. Climate normals for each month were interpolated using trivariate splines (latitude, longitude and elevation as spline variables) with partial dependence upon standardised day time MODIS land surface temperature. All models were fit and interpolated using ANUSPLIN 4.4 (Hutchinson & Xu 2013). 4. Daily anomalies were calculated by subtracting daily observations from climate normals and interpolated with full spline dependence upon latitude and longitude 5. Interpolated anomalies were added to interpolated climate normals to obtain the final daily surfaces. 6. Monthly surfaces are calculated as an aggregation of the daily product.

    Description

    We must understand the natural cycles of the oceans to understand the evolution of our climate through geological time. Core MD 032607 was obtained in 2003 off the coast of Sumatra (36.9606 S, 137.4065 E). By investigating the properties and components of this core we are able to reveal some information regarding past oceanographic and climatic systems. Information obtained or inferred from the core include the isotopic composition of oxygen and carbon through time, an age vs. depth profile of the core (revealing sedimentation rates), the relative abundance of planktonic foraminifera over time, and estimates of historical sea-surface temperatures.

    SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE
    Description

    A Group for High Resolution Sea Surface Temperature (GHRSST) Level 4 sea surface temperature analysis, produced daily on an operational basis at the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) using optimal interpolation (OI) on a regional 1/12 degree grid over the Australian region (20N - 70S, 60E - 170W). This Regional Australian Multi-Sensor SST Analysis (RAMSSA) v1.0 system blends satellite SST observations from passive infrared and passive microwave radiometers, with in situ data from ships, Argo floats, XBTs, CTDs, drifting buoys and moorings from the Global Telecommunications System (GTS). SST observations that have experienced recent surface wind speeds less than 6 m/s during the day or less than 2 m/s during night are rejected from the analysis. The processing results in daily foundation SST estimates that are largely free of nocturnal cooling and diurnal warming effects. Sea ice concentrations are supplied by the NOAA/NCEP 12.7 km sea ice analysis. In the absence of observations, the analysis relaxes to the BoM Global Weekly 1 degree OI SST analysis, which relaxes to the Reynolds and Smith (1994) Monthly 1 degree SST climatology for 1961 - 1990.

    Description

    This dataset contains the precipitation, mean maximum temperature and mean minimum temperature data used in the study Application of Machine Learning to Attribution and Prediction of Seasonal Precipitation and Temperature Trends in Canberra, Australia. This data was originally from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology Climate Data Online (http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/data/index.shtml), but has been updated to have missing values (1% of data) filled using a moving average centred on the year for which the data is missing.

    Below is the abstract for the paper.

    Southeast Australia is frequently impacted by drought, requiring monitoring of how the various factors influencing drought change over time. Precipitation and temperature trends were analysed for Canberra, Australia, revealing decreasing autumn precipitation. However, annual precipitation remains stable as summer precipitation increased and the other seasons show no trend. Further, mean temperature increases in all seasons. These results suggest that Canberra is increasingly vulnerable to drought. Wavelet analysis suggests that the El-Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) influences precipitation and temperature in Canberra, although its impact on precipitation has decreased since the 2000s. Linear regression (LR) and support vector regression (SVR) were applied to attribute climate drivers of annual precipitation and mean maximum temperature (TMax). Important attributes of precipitation include ENSO, the southern annular mode (SAM), Indian Ocean Dipole (DMI) and Tasman Sea SST anomalies. Drivers of TMax included DMI and global warming attributes. The SVR models achieved high correlations of 0.737 and 0.531 on prediction of precipitation and TMax, respectively, outperforming the LR models which obtained correlations of 0.516 and 0.415 for prediction of precipitation and TMax on the testing data. This highlights the importance of continued research utilising machine learning methods for prediction of atmospheric variables and weather pattens on multiple time scales.

    Description

    IOCI3, a climate research collaboration between CSIRO, the Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) and the Western Australian Government, produced maps of mean hot spell intensity, frequency and duration for the 1958-2010 period using estimates derived from statistical models. They also produced maps of trends in hot spell intensity, frequency and duration for this time period. In addition they provided maps of mean hot spell thresholds, intensity, frequency and duration for the 1981-2010 period using estimates derived from statistical models, and projections of these characteristics for the 2070-2099 period under the A2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions scenario (described in the IPCC Special Report on Emissions Scenarios [SRES]), as well as the difference between these two periods." Results are provided in the JPEG file format. Lineage: High quality station data as well as quarter-degree gridded (0.25°× 0.25° resolution) daily maximum temperature data from BoM Australian Water Availability Project (AWAP) were used to produce these results. Hot spell temperature thresholds were selected using statistical methods. Hot spell occurrence (frequency) was modelled by a Poisson process, hot spell intensity by a generalized Pareto distribution, and hot spell duration through a geometric distribution. The Generalized Linear Model framework was used to estimate the parameters in the model for hot spells. This method was applied to daily maximum temperature data simulated from the CSIRO Cubic Conformal Atmospheric Model (CCAM) for both the present-day and possible future climate under the SRES A2 GHG emissions scenario. The CCAM was nested in the CSIRO Mk3.0 Global Climate Model host for the SRES A2 scenario. Caveats & limitations: The hot spell projections should be seen as initial estimates only, and they should not be used for making impact, vulnerability and risk assessments. They were made using only one climate model (CCAM); more work using an ensemble of global and regional climate model results is required to provide more robust projections of hot spells in Western Australia.

    Extreme events are by definition rare, and analysis relies on partial (extreme) datasets (e.g., daily maximum temperatures higher 35 °C). In addition, estimating extremes necessitates extrapolating beyond such relatively small observed records. Consequently, the uncertainty associated with these projections of extremes is large, especially when extrapolating from a small dataset. To produce these projections we used AWAP data was used to overcome data shortages. However, the methods used to construct the AWAP dataset (interpolation) may smooth out some extreme values; this may lead to an underestimation of extremes in some cases. To these uncertainties are added the uncertainties inherent in the use of climate models.

    Description

    This dataset is part of the Monash, UEA & UCR time series regression repository. http://tseregression.org/

    The goal of this dataset is to predict the total daily rainfall using 24 hours of temperature measurements. This is useful as temperature sensors are much cheaper and easy to maintain as compared to rain gauges. This dataset contains 160,267 time series obtained from a dataset released by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BOM).The time series has 3 dimensions, measuring the average hourly temperature, minimum hourly temperature and maximum hourly temperature from 518 weather stations throughout all of Australia.

    Description

    This dataset contains time series for monthly precipitation over six sites (Blackheath, Braidwood, Darkes Forest, Goulburn, Lithgow and Moss Vale) in the Sydney Catchment Area (SCA) and monthly mean maximum and mean minimum temperature for three sites (Goulburn, Lithgow, and Moss Vale) in the SCA. This data was used in the study Attribution and Prediction of Precipitation and Temperature Trends within the Sydney Catchment Using Machine Learning. The data was originally from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology Climate Data Online (http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/data/index.shtml), but has been updated to have missing values (8% of data) filled using a moving average centred on the year for which the data is missing.

    Below is the abstract for the paper:

    Droughts in southeastern Australia can profoundly affect the water supply to Sydney, Australia's largest city. Increasing population, a warming climate, land surface changes, and expanded agricultural use increase water demand and reduce catchment runoff. Studying Sydney's water supply is necessary to manage water resources and lower the risk of severe water shortages. This study aims at understanding Sydney water supply by analysing precipitation and temperature trends across the catchment. A decreasing trend in annual precipitation was found across the Sydney catchment area. Annual precipitation also is significantly less variable, due to fewer years above the 80th percentile. These trends result from significant reductions in precipitation during spring and autumn, especially over the last 20 years. Wavelet analysis is applied to assess how the influence of climate drivers has changed over time. Attribute selection was carried out using linear regression and machine learning techniques including random forests and support vector regression. Drivers of annual precipitation included Niño3.4, SAM, DMI and measures of global warming such as the Tasman Sea Sea Surface temperature anomalies. The support vector regression model with a polynomial kernel achieved correlations of 0.921 and a skill score compared to climatology of 0.721. The linear regression model also performed well with a correlation of 0.815 and skill score of 0.567, highlighting the importance of considering both linear and non-linear methods when developing statistical models. Models were also developed on autumn and winter precipitation but performed worse than annual precipitation on prediction. For example, the best performing model on autumn precipitation, which accounts for approximately one quarter of annual precipitation, achieved an RMSE of 418.036 mm2 on the testing data while annual precipitation achieved an RMSE of 613.704 mm2. However, the seasonal models provided valuable insight into whether the season would be wet or dry compared to the climatology.

    Description

    In recent years the term 'enhanced greenhouse effect' has become well known in modern society and yet aspects of this possible 'future climate' are poorly understood. The characteristics of the geological record provide a basis to understand this possible future climate through the examination of alternating glacial (cold) and interglacial (warm) stages. Understanding the variability of sea-surface temperature and biological processes in the water column provides insight into general circulation of present and paleo-ocean currents. From core MD032607 the annual mean SST (Tmean) indicates a temperature range of 9oC±0.84oC between Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 6 to MIS 5, representing the largest sea surface temperature (SST) transition from a glacial to interglacial. The results also suggest that there is more stratification in the water column during interglacial periods as opposed to glacials. Conversely, temperatures gradients are reduced during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and MIS 6 suggesting a well mixed homogenised mixed layer.

Description

As of December 2022, the highest recorded temperature in Australia was at Onslow Airport in Western Australia, where the temperature was **** degrees Celsius. This was matched by the highest temperature recorded at Oodnadatta Airport, South Australia, in 1960. What is causing increasing temperatures? The annual mean temperature deviation in the country has increased over the past century. In 2024, the annual national mean temperature was **** degrees Celsius above average. Climate experts agree that the major climate driver responsible for the heat experienced in Australia was a positive Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD). This is where sea surface temperatures are cooler in the eastern half of the Indian Ocean than the western half. The discrepancy in temperatures led to drier, warmer conditions across Australia. Global warming due to greenhouse gas emissions has been linked to the warming of sea surface temperatures and the IOD. Social change While the topic of global warming is undoubtedly controversial, many people perceive global warming as influencing Australia’s climate. In 2023, around ** percent of Australians believed climate change was occurring. Furthermore, around **** of Australians agreed that their government was not doing enough in terms of climate change action.
