Web tools to support Adaptation: www.climatechangeinaustralia.gov.au Abstract This year sees the completion of a new comprehensive set of climate change projections for Australia, produced by CSIRO in conjunction with the Bureau of Meteorology in close consultation with Natural Resource Management groups and the Australian research community. Increasingly, end-users require ready access to projections through interactive web-based services. To meet this need, a broad range...

Evaluation of cloud properties over the Maritime Continent in ACCESS using CloudSat and CALIPSO simulators Abstract This study evaluates cloud properties over the Maritime Continent during the monsoon season from the Australian Community Climate and Earth System Simulator (ACCESS1.3) using the Cloud Feedback Model Intercomparison Project (CFMIP) Observational Simulator Package (COSP). Cloud properties from the model are assessed against observations from CloudSat and...

The AGAGE in situ program for non-CO2 greenhouse gases at Cape Grim, 2009–2010 Abstract This report summarises in situ observations at Cape Grim of atmospheric trace gases that are involved in strato-spheric ozone depletion, climate change and tropo-spheric chemistry. During 2009-2010, two instruments continued to operate at Cape Grim as part of the Ad-vanced Global Atmospheric Gases Experiment (AGAGE): (1) a composite gas chromatograph-multi detector (GC-MD) instrument;...

Greenhouse gas network design using backward Lagrangian particle dispersion modelling – Part I: Methodology and Australian test case Abstract This paper describes the generation of optimal atmospheric measurement networks for determining the CO2 fluxes over Australia using inverse methods. A Lagrangian particle dispersion model is used in reverse mode together with a Bayesian inverse modelling framework to calculate the relationship between weekly surface fluxes and...

Reconciling Ground-Based and Space-Based Estimates of the Frequency of Occurrence and Radiative Effect of Clouds around Darwin, Australia Abstract The objective of this paper is to investigate whether estimates of the cloud frequency of occurrence and associated cloud radiative forcing as derived from ground-based and satellite active remote sensing and radiative transfer calculations can be reconciled over a well instrumented active remote sensing site located in Darwin,...
