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/...

Hasn’t the climate always changed? More info about WCRP on our website #WCRP #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #ScienceExplained #ClimateAction #SustainableFuture

We are hosting a Masterclass for our partners and stakeholders from government and industry! Deepening your knowledge and understanding of weather and climate science! 🎓 📌 UNSW Law Theatre, Sydney ⏱️ Tue 2 Sep: 9:30am-5pm 💵 Free to attend Register here: lnkd.in/gCUMhpuv Agenda here: lnkd.in/gHdZHMj8

Did you catch the latest issue of the GEWEX Quarterly? It's up on our website at www.gewex.org/gewex-conten..., and this edition talks about Arctic mixed-phase clouds in models, the ORCESTRA field campaign, the InPRHA initiative to improve multi-hazard flood forecasting systems, and more!

Congrats to Shankar Sharma on his first PhD paper dx.plos.org/10.1371/jour... He develops a method to track changes in urban land over time. Sydney Australia shows a clear increase in the denser, higher urban zones. 🧪 @neginnazarian.bsky.social @mlip.bsky.social

Next up, David Bee Olmedo from @nsw-bnhrc.bsky.social and @ccrc.bsky.social discusses scaling of extreme rainfall with temperature calculated using radar data.

Greeshma Surendran from @ccrc.bsky.social uses pseudo-global warming models to look at changes in extreme wind gusts.

Reminder! The editors of PLOS Climate's Health section are calling for submissions on the theme of Heat and Health. Learn more here 👇 latitude.plos.org/2025/03/plos...

From the editors of PLOS Climate's Energy section: a call for submissions of policy-relevant energy research 👇 latitude.plos.org/2025/03/plos...

Congrats to Greeshma Surendran who's first PhD paper was just published www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... The work shows that atmospheric environmental factors linked to extreme wind gusts are different to those that link to strong wind gusts. 🧪

It's great to be listening to Prof. Koji Dairaku in the regional climate modelling session at the Asia-Oceania Geosciences Society Conference. There is lots of interesting work in this space happening!

Earth is losing clouds — fast. Storm zones have shrunk by up to 3% per decade. That’s helping drive record-breaking heat. New NASA-led research featuring @Weather21C shows how less cloud = more warming. Read more: 21centuryweather.org.au/new-study-sh... #ClimateScience #GlobalWarming #CloudCover

I'll be using precipitation observations with a lot more caution after Lisa's interesting talk.

A really interesting talk from Andy. Lots of benefits come from Climate modelling at Km scales but there is more work to do to realise all the benefits.

Just finished the Regional Climate session at AMOS. It's great to see all the work going on in this space. Thanks to Marcus Thatcher, my co-organiser, shown giving his talk below.

Congrats Moninya. Well deserved!

Congratulations to Helen. You have been an inspiration to many Climate scientists in Australia

I had the pleasure of doing a Q&A session at a @cricketforclimate event. The event was talking with South Asian cricket communities about the impacts of climate change on cricket and what climate solutions can look like for clubs - because we all want to play cricket forever!

I had the pleasure to be part of a panel discussion on "Innovative Approaches to Observations and Modelling for Improved Climate Information and Services" at EGU. Shout out to my fellow panelists representing the @wcrpclimate.bsky.social programs ESMO, RIfs and CORDEX

Just gave my invited talk at EGU. A few years of work looking into the benefits of bias correcting the boundary conditions for regional climate model simulations. Much credit to Youngil Kim. It's been great sharing our work with everyone @ccrc.bsky.social @unswbees.bsky.social

Job opportunity: Lecturer or Senior Lecturer based at Monash University. Do you have expertise in one or more areas, including atmospheric dynamics, physical meteorology, atmospheric modelling, and similar disciplines? Apply now. Closes on Friday 2 May. - 21centuryweather.org.au/about-us/pos...

Happy to be part of the CCRC team at the 14th ICSHMO in Cape Town. A week of interesting southern hemisphere Climate science @ccrc.bsky.social 🧪

The LNP don't like their own words repeated back to them, which is why they're infuriated by this ad. Which is also why you should share it.

We are recruiting for a Research Fellow based at Monash University! Working with @ailiegallant.bsky.social on weather resources critical for renewable energy and agriculture, and an opportunity to work with the Bureau of Meteorology. Closes April 24 - www.21centuryweather.org.au/about-us/pos...

Come and join the great team at the Climate Systems Hub

I'm happy to be part of the editor team

It is a pleasure to be part of the GEWEX SSG and spend some time with this great group of people.

It was exciting to see all the great GEWEX research happening all around the world.

Our new paper shows how much climate can impact the recovery of vegetation after large fires. After the 2019/2020 Australian fires, the unusually high rainfall substantially increased the rate of recovery over what would have happen in normal conditions. iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1... 🧪

@plosclimate.org is running a call for papers to connect with the @ipcc.bsky.social Special Report on Climate Change and Cities! latitude.plos.org/2024/11/call...

Connect with members of our editorial board through this starter pack!

I was happy to present the Regional Climate Change guidance for local action project work with the team at the Climate Systems Hub days

Is the climate changing faster than expected? An excellent briefing note from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes looks at this question. climateextremes.org.au/is-the-clima...

It's been a year for awards! Latest is the Vice Chancellor's Award for "Research Team of the Year" for the Weather & Climate Group @monashuniversity.bsky.social. This inclusive, kind and clever bunch of people are a joy to work with.

New paper on #CMIP7 emissions-driven design out today in GMD. Earth System Modeling has long relied on simulations driven by GHG concentrations. But this approach is outdated. ESMs need to resolve human activity and its consquences. gmd.copernicus.org/articles/17/...

This 👇🏼 is open for another 6 days! 🌊 🌏 Not sure if this is for you? Want to find more about the project? Are you on the fence? Do reach out..! 😊 We'll be using a new ocean model: github.com/CliMA/Oceana... github.com/CliMA/ClimaO... and collaborate with CliMA (clima.caltech.edu).

Our new paper shows that correcting errors in boundary conditions of regional climate models can improve the representation of weather. This will improve regional climate change projections and help us to adapt. 🧪 agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

I'm proud to be part of this team and am looking forward to the research we can do and the impact it will have on how we plan for future flooding.
