    CSIRO PUBLISHING Journal of Southern Hemisphere Earth Systems Science, 2020, 70, 304–327 Seasonal Climate Summary https://doi.org/10.1071/ES19037 Seasonal climate summary for the southern hemisphere (spring 2017): equal-fifth warmest spring on record, with rainfall mixed Skie Tobin Bureau of Meteorology, GPO Box 1289, Melbourne, Vic. 3001, Australia. Email: [email protected] Abstract. This is a summary of the southern hemisphere atmospheric circulation patterns and meteorological indices for spring 2017; an account of seasonal rainfall and temperature for the Australian region and the broader southern hemisphere is also provided. The tropical Pacific Ocean cooled from mid-winter, with an unusually late La Nin˜a becoming established by the end of spring. Spring was the equal-fifth warmest on record, in terms of area-averaged national mean temperature, and was characterised by exceptional September warmth over eastern Australia, while rainfall was mixed geographically and from month-to-month, but below average overall. Keywords: Antarctica, Australia, climate, climate drivers, ENSO, IOD, La Nin˜a, MJO, rainfall, SAM, seasonal climate summary, seasonal summary, southern hemisphere, temperature.

  • New Air Conditioning Design Temperatures for Queensland
    New air-conditioning design temperatures for Queensland, Australia by Eric Peterson¹, Nev Williams¹, Dale Gilbert¹, Klaus Bremhorst² ¹Thermal Comfort Initiative of Queensland Department of Public Works, Brisbane ²Professor of Mechanical Engineering, the University of Queensland, St Lucia Abstract : This paper presents results of a detailed analysis of meteorological data to determine air conditioning design temperatures dry bulb and wet bulb for hundreds of locations throughout Queensland, using the tenth-highest daily maximum observed per year. This is a modification of the AIRAH 1997 method that uses only 3PM records of temperature. In this paper we ask the reader to consider Australian Bureau of Meteorology official “climate summaries” as a benchmark upon which to compare various previously published comfort design temperatures, as well as the new design temperatures proposed in the present paper. We see some possible signals from climate change, but firstly we should apply all available historical data to establish outdoor design temperatures that will ensure that cooling plant are correctly sized in the near future. In a case- studies of Brisbane, we find that inner city temperatures are rising, that airport temperatures are not, and that suburban variability is substantially important.

  • Monana the OFFICIAL PUBLICATION of the AUSTRALIAN METEOROLOGICAL ASSOCIATION INC October 2016
    Monana THE OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE AUSTRALIAN METEOROLOGICAL ASSOCIATION INC October 2016 Weather factors impacting insect populations Dr Maryam Yazdani University of Adelaide Dr Maryam Yazdani, a researcher and lecturer in insect and plant populations, spoke at the AMETA August 2016 meeting, giving an excellent overview of the range of weather related factors impacting insect populations. A number of weather related factors influence insect behaviour and population dynamics. Warmer winter temperatures, such as the conditions being observed over recent decades, reduce insect mortality. Increased temperatures at other times of the year, reflected in higher heating degree days, results in increased numbers of offspring, and increases food availability. As a result of temperature changes, aphid populations in Europe are emerging 1 day per 4 years earlier over recent years, coming out of winter. Increased numbers of insects and shorter growing times in warmer temperatures increases the generations of insects occurring. This means that resistance to pesticides can develop more quickly. It was also noted that increased temperatures and rainfall intensity acts to reduce the effectiveness of insecticides. Research has identified that a 2 °C increase in temperature, a level of change expected to be reached in the next 30- 50 years, can double the number of generations of aphids occurring. Another factor involves the impact of increased C02 levels on plants. While plant growth is generally promoted in increased CO2 levels, protein levels in the plants decrease in higher CO2 levels. This results in insects eating more plant material to meet their needs for protein for growth. Many fungi contain pathogens that reduce insect populations, and drier conditions starting to occur in mid-latitude areas results in reduced fungi populations.
