Climate Variability

Providing climate variability information to wool producers in the Western Australian southern pastoral zone

Improving seasonal forecasts for woolgrowers

Improved climate forecasts which enable stocking rates to be better matched to feed availability are a priority for the longterm
sustainability and productivity of the wool industry. The Land, Water & Wool Managing Climate Variability subprogram is helpi

Improved climate forecasts for wool producers in Australia's pastoral zone

This report summarises the findings of a new climate forecasting technology available to farmers in Australia’s pastoral region. The Land Water and Wool Climate Map Arranger website program has allowed woolgrowers in Australia’s pastoral region to utilise seasonal climate forecast and risk assessment information. It is a complex program which calculates the climate risk assessment based on simulated pasture growth, depending on the climatic conditions ahead and the (more)...

Summarises the research findings of this project.

Improved Seasonal Forecasts for Wool Producers in the South Australia Pastoral zone

This project has improved the knowledge and understanding of seasonal climate forecasts so that wool producers can better recognise the changes of good and bad seasons and tailor this to maximise profits and minimise losses.

Drafting Gate

Australia is the driest inhabited continent and has the most variable climate in the world.

Climate variability is the fluctuation of the seasons and understanding how the climate varies is critical to better grazing management.

The Climate Risk Management Drafting Gate will help farmers and graziers factor seasonal climate forecasts into their management decisions.
