Presentation Transcript

  1. Weather@home ANZ 2013: the causes of heatwaves and drought in Australia and New Zealand David Karoly and Mitchell Black School of Earth Sciences and ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate System Science, University of Melbourne with Tasmanian Partnership for Advanced Computing (TPAC),Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS),University of Tasmania

  2. Extensive heat wave across much of Australia in January 2013

  3. Record high average Australian temperature in summer 2012/13

  4. Changes in temperature extremes in a warmer climate

  5. Weather@home ANZ will • provide simulations of daily weather in Australia in 2013 with and without the influence of human-caused climate change, • assess whether climate change increased the risk of heat waves in Australia in 2013 and by how much, • allow the public to learn more about climate science and play a role assisting scientific research. http://www.climateprediction.net/weatherathome/
