Seasonal Forecasting

Australia’s Regional Climate Drivers

Final report included maps of driver influence, case studies of synoptic decomposition (SE and SW Australia) and explanation of climate anomalies (2006), and an excellent assessment of future research directions. Next Steps: Principle Investigator’s project summary to be used to guide investment by MCV 2 in furthering regionally specific seasonal forecasting – particularly for current seasonal (more)...

Seasonal forecasting for Eastern Australia scoping study

Focusing on sub-tropical eastern Australia including the northern grains belt, southern cane industry, the southern Qld and northern NSW dairy industry, subtropical grazing, most of Australia’s cotton industry and a range of subtropical horticultural crops, this project will determine key Climate Science R&D necessary to improve existing forecast skill. Applications and tools that are likely to be of high benefit to agriculture will be proposed.

Knowing El Nino: The Influences of Climate Perception of Land Management Decisions in Western NSW and QLD

Knowing El Nino: The influences of Climate Perception of Land Management Decisions in Western NSW and QLD detailed use, uptake and needs of seasonal climate forecasts (SCFs) and related products among sheep graziers in three regions of western Queensland and western NSW. Approximately 90 detailed interviews were conducted with graziers from Hillston, the Mitchell grass plains and Longreach. They examined how, when and why SCFs (more)...

Improved Seasonal Forecasts for Wool Producers in the SA Pastoral Zone

The average rainfall for the 40 woolgrower families in the area stretching from north of Port Augusta to east of Burra is less than 350 millimetres and rainfall distribution is highly variable.

The aim of Improved Seasonal Forecasts for Wool Producers in the SA Pastoral Zone was to help growers more effectively use climate forecasts when making grazing management decisions for the season ahead.
