  1. Predicting the consequences of climate change by understanding the past: BRAN2.1 David Griffin Peter Oke, Andreas Schiller (CSIRO) and Gary Brassington (BMRC)

  2. 20ºC in winter? Global warming?

  3. Just a localised anomaly, really.If not global warming, then what?

  4. #2: 15ºC in summer? Please explain

  5. Watch this cyclonic eddy develop:

  16. Argo profile in centre of cold eddy: Argo atlas Temperature

  17. What do these events have in common? • Both are consequences of a stronger EAC • Very warm east of Tasmania last summer • more on the way? • what will it mean?

  18. Puerulus settlement, SA and Tas: wind model observed

  19. No, we’re not there yet. • Annual cycle OK. • Inter-annual variability is not. • The cause of five-fold changes to recruitment success for Southern Rock Lobster remains a mystery

  20. Conclusions • There’s never been so much interest in the future • We don’t know what’s going to happen • science does not yet have the answers • spotting wrong answers is often easier • we have produced BRAN to foster ecological research • please use it

  21. Thank you

  22. BRAN1.0  BRAN1.5  BRAN2.0

  23. BRAN1.0  BRAN1.5  BRAN2.0
