I'm very happy to see this study, led by Moutassem El Rafei, of the generation of extreme wind gusts published. Model resolution of ~200m is needed to capture this phenomena agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.... @andrewb31.bsky.social

This is some very nice work by our PhD student Alex (Ying Lung)

UNSW Climate Change Research Centre @ccrc.bsky.social · 17d

🚨New paper

This new study by Ying Lung Liu, Lisa Alexander and
@jasonpevans.bsky.social disentangles ENSO and IOD influences on Australian spring climate, showing ENSO’s dominant role and underscoring the need for large ensembles for robust attribution.
Full Paper: doi.org/10.1175/JCLI...

The correlation between (a, c, e) rainfall and (b, d, f) surface temperature simulated by CCAM and the NINO3.4 from CTRL for (a, b) CTRL, (c, d) (noENSO) and (e, f) noIOD runs. Stipples indicate grids where correlations are significant at the 1% level based on
Student’s t-test. A 1% significance level is chosen because the large number of events in the 10-member ensemble results in very small critical values for higher significance levels.

We just published a paper that shows including lateral flow of soil moisture matters for climate once you get down to km-scale modelling of the land surface. More and more of our work is at these scales so we need to start including processes like this. 🧪
hess.copernicus.org/articles/29/...

The influence of lateral flow on land surface fluxes in southeast Australia varies with model resolution

Abstract. Land surface models (LSMs) used in climate models typically represent surface hydrology as one-dimensional vertical fluxes, neglecting the lateral movement of water within and between grids....

The work shows that atmospheric environmental factors linked to extreme wind gusts are different to those that link to strong wind gusts. 🧪

Distinguishing environmental controls on strong vs. extreme wind gusts

Statistical and theoretical models of wind gusts may be dominated by more common strong events, rather than rare but damaging extreme ones. We address…
