Journal ArticleDOI
The Millennium Drought in southeast Australia (2001–2009): Natural and human causes and implications for water resources, ecosystems, economy, and society
Albert van Dijk,Hylke E. Beck,Russell Crosbie,Richard de Jeu,Yi Y. Liu,Yi Y. Liu,Geoff Podger,Bertrand Timbal,Neil R. Viney +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used climate, water, economic, and remote sensing data combined with biophysical modeling to understand the drivers of the "Millennium Drought" and its impacts.
Guidelines for Use of Climate Scenarios Developed from Statistical Downscaling Methods
Robert L. Wilby,Stephen P. Charles,Eduardo Zorita,Bertrand Timbal,Peter Whetton,Linda O. Mearns +5 more
TL;DR: This article reviewed statistical methods of estimating point climate from coarse-scale climate projections, and provided guidance on the use of point climate data for many climate impact applications, especially for regions of complex topography, coastal or island locations, and in highly heterogeneous land cover.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of recent climate variability and climate change in southeastern Australia
TL;DR: Southeastern Australia (SEA) has suffered from 10 years of low rainfall from 1997 to 2006, and the main mechanisms that affect the climate were summarized in a recent review as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cloud feedback in atmospheric general circulation models: An update
Robert D. Cess,Minghua Zhang,William Ingram,Gerald L. Potter,V. Alekseev,Howard W. Barker,E. Cohen-Solal,Robert Colman,D. A. Dazlich,A. D. Del Genio,Martin Dix,V. P. Dymnikov,Monika Esch,Laura D. Fowler,J. R. Fraser,V. Galin,W. L. Gates,James J. Hack,Jeffrey T. Kiehl,H. Le Treut,Ken K. Lo,B. J. McAvaney,V. P. Meleshko,Jean-Jacques Morcrette,David A. Randall,Erich Roeckner,Jean-François Royer,Michael E. Schlesinger,P. V. Sporyshev,Bertrand Timbal,Evgeny Volodin,Karl E. Taylor,Wanqiu Wang,R. T. Wetherald +33 more
TL;DR: The authors compared the climate sensitivity of 19 atmospheric general circulation models and found a roughly threefold variation among the models; most of this variation was attributed to differences in the models' depictions of cloud feedback.
Journal ArticleDOI
WCRP COordinated Regional Downscaling EXperiment (CORDEX): A diagnostic MIP for CMIP6
William J. Gutowski,Filippo Giorgi,Bertrand Timbal,Anne Frigon,Daniela Jacob,Hyun-Suk Kang,Krishnan Raghavan,Boram Lee,Christopher Lennard,Grigory Nikulin,Eleanor O’Rourke,Eleanor O’Rourke,Michel Rixen,Silvina Alicia Solman,Tannecia S. Stephenson,Fredolin Tangang +15 more
TL;DR: The Coordinated Regional Downscaling Experiment (CORDEXPERiment) as mentioned in this paper is a diagnostic model intercomparison project (MIP) in CMIP6 that provides a common framework for downscaling activities around the world.
