Journal ArticleDOI
On the Remote Drivers of Rainfall Variability in Australia
TL;DR: This article identified and documented a suite of large-scale drivers of rainfall variability in the Australian region, including El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), Indian Ocean dipole (IOD), Madden-Julian oscillation and atmospheric blocking.
Journal ArticleDOI
What causes southeast Australia's worst droughts?
Caroline C. Ummenhofer,Matthew H. England,Peter C. McIntosh,Gary Meyers,Michael J. Pook,James S. Risbey,Alex Sen Gupta,Andréa S. Taschetto +7 more
TL;DR: Ummenhofer et al. as discussed by the authors show that the Big Dry and other iconic 20th Century droughts are driven by Indian Ocean variability, not Pacific Ocean conditions as traditionally assumed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Years of El Niño, La Niña, and Interactions with the Tropical Indian Ocean
TL;DR: The Indian Ocean zonal dipole is a mode of variability in sea surface temperature that seriously affects the climate of many nations around the Indian Ocean rim, as well as the global climate system as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Southwest Western Australian winter rainfall and its association with Indian Ocean climate variability
TL;DR: In this article, the importance of links between rainfall and both mean sea level pressure (MSLP) and sea-surface temperature (SST) patterns over the Indian Ocean was evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Indian and Pacific Ocean Influences on Southeast Australian Drought and Soil Moisture
Caroline C. Ummenhofer,Alex Sen Gupta,Peter R. Briggs,Matthew H. England,Peter C. McIntosh,Gary Meyers,Michael J. Pook,Michael R. Raupach,James S. Risbey +8 more
TL;DR: The relative influences of Indian and Pacific Ocean modes of variability on Australian rainfall and soil moisture are investigated for seasonal, interannual, and decadal time scales for the period 1900-2006 as mentioned in this paper.
