Persistence Characteristics of Australian Rainfall Anomalies

International Journal of Climatology, 1997
Using 79 years (1913‐1991) of Australian monthly precipitation data we examined the nature of the persistence of rainfall anomalies. Analyses were performed for four climate regions covering the country, as well as for the entire Australian continent.

Interdecadal modulation of Australian rainfall

Climate Dynamics, 2002
Interdecadal variability is investigated in a 300 year run of the Parallel Climate Model, a global coupled atmosphere-land-ocean-sea ice model. The model simulates El Nino variability of realistic magnitude and is found to produce interdecadal characteristics similar to those observed, both in frequency, spatial patterns and amplitude.

Road accidents and rainfall in a large Australian city

Accident Analysis & Prevention, 2006
We investigate the impact of rainfall on daily road accidents in the metropolitan area of Melbourne, Australia, over 1987-2002. Our analysis from several viewpoints of the accident count, which has been normalised for variation in traffic volume, indicated that the effect of rainfall is multifaceted. Owing to a large non-linear trend a subdivision into

Some correlation studies of Australian rainfall.

Australian Journal of Agricultural Research, 1953
Statistical relations between rainfall and other climatological elements described by earlier workers have been extended for different districts and stations, different time lags, and more recent data. The latter study shows that practically all the correlations have decreased considerably in magnitude.

Australian rainfall trends during the twentieth century

International Journal of Climatology, 1992
AbstractA set of high‐quality rainfall records is used to examine rainfall trends over Australia during the twentieth century. The 191 stations used have been selected by an exhaustive search of documentation regarding instrumentation, observational practices, site relocations, and exposure.

Deuterium/hydrogen ratios in Australian rainfall

Journal of Hydrology, 1981
Abstract Correlations between meteorological data and the deuterium/hydrogen (D/H) ratios of monthly rainfall samples from fourteen Australian locations are given. The major factors influencing D/H ratios are the dew point and rainfall intensity. A model has been developed which is consistent with the data from these locations; the implications of ...

Stochastic Simulation of Daily Rainfall for Australian Stations

Transactions of the ASAE, 1983
ABSTRACT A model using transition probability matrices is developed to generate daily rainfall sequences for Australian conditions. The results of applying the model to twelve Australian stations indicate that the daily as well as monthly and annual parameters are preserved.

Rainfall-yield relationships across the Australian wheatbelt

Australian Journal of Agricultural Research, 1997
A network of rainfall stations was selected across the Australian wheatbelt and monthly rainfall regressed with wheat yields from the surrounding shires for the period 1976-87. Yields were found to be strongly related to fluctuations in total rainfall amount and the seasonal distribution of rainfall through the year.

Teleconnections and predictive characteristics of Australian seasonal rainfall

Climate Dynamics, 2013
A new methodology is proposed that allows patterns of interannual covariability, or teleconnections, between the intraseasonal and slow components of seasonal mean Australian rainfall and the corresponding components in the Southern Hemisphere atmospheric circulation to be estimated.
