Australian rainfall & runoff - Guiding Australian practice into the 21st century
2005Since 1958 when Australian Rainfall and Runoff was first released it has remained one of the most influential and widely used guidelines published by Engineers Australia. The current edition, initially published in 1987 and in a split book form in 1998, has received widespread Australian and international acclaim.

El Niño Modoki Impacts on Australian Rainfall
Journal of Climate, 2009Abstract This study investigates interseasonal and interevent variations in the impact of El Niño on Australian rainfall using available observations from the postsatellite era. Of particular interest is the difference in impact between classical El Niño events wherein peak sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies appear in the eastern ...

South Australian rainfall variability and climate extremes
Climate Dynamics, 2008Rainfall extremes over South Australia are connected with broad-scale atmospheric rearrangements associated with strong meridional sea surface temperature (SST) gradients in the eastern Indian Ocean. Thirty-seven years of winter radiosonde data is used to calculate a time series of precipitable water (PW) and convective available potential energy (CAPE)

Design Rainfall Temporal Patterns in Australian Rainfall And Runoff : Durations Exceeding One Hour
Australasian Journal of Water Resources, 2012AbstractThe current edition of Australian Rainfall and Runoff espouses the design event approach in which a single food is the “event” with which the hydraulic structure is expected to cope during its working life. The uniform rainfall of the selected average recurrence interval requires a temporal pattern before input to a catchment model.

Sea Surface Temperatures and Australian Winter Rainfall
Journal of Climate, 1989Abstract A rotated principal component analysis of Australian winter (June–August) rainfall revealed two large-scale patterns of variation which together accounted for more than half of the total rainfall variance. The first pattern was a broadband stretching from the northwest to the southeast corners of the country.

International Journal of Climatology, 2019
AbstractThe Australian Alpine region is highly vulnerable to extreme climate events such as heavy rainfall and snow falls, these events subsequently impact rainfall erosivity and hillslope erosion in the region. In this study, the relationship between extreme rainfall indices (ERIs) and rainfall erosivity was examined across the Alpine region in New ...

The influence of drought and rainfall on reproduction in Australian desert birds
Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London, 1954Summary Collections of the gonads of desert birds which were made in localities during, and soon after, severe drought revealed striking differences in reproductive development. Comparatively meagre rainfall and the resultant creation of relatively beneficial conditions has a more stimulating effect on the male than on the female cycle. The failure

The role of external forcing in prolonged trends in Australian rainfall
Climate Dynamics, 2015Based on model output from a multi-model ensemble (MME) of coupled atmosphere-ocean general circulation models, it is shown that prolonged trends in Australian rainfall over the southwest during winter and the monsoonal northwest during summer are associated with trends in the large scale Southern Hemisphere circulation.
