There is considerable evidence that historically increasing aerosols have substantially affected tropical precipitation, but the effects of projected aerosol declines have received little attention. We compare projections forced by the...

Seasonal forecasting of tuna habitat in the Great Australian Bight Abstract Commercial fishing involves locating fish in a variable environment, and a fisher’s historical experience with environmental conditions and the influence on fish distribution underpins their economic efficiency.

Estimating trends and seasonality in Australian monthly lightning flash counts Abstract We present the results of a statistical analysis of lightning characteristics in mainland Australia for the period from approximately 1988 to 2012, based on monthly lightning flash count (LFC) series obtained from a network of 19 CIGRE-500 sensors. The temporal structures of the series are examined in terms of detecting and characterizing seasonal cycles, long-term trends and changes in...
