  • 6. Annual Review and Significant Events
    6. Annual Review and Significant Events January-April: wet in the tropics and WA, very hot in central to eastern Australia For northern Australia, the tropical wet season (October 2005 – April 2006) was the fifth wettest on record, with an average of 674 mm falling over the period. The monsoon trough was somewhat late in arriving over the Top End (mid-January as opposed to the average of late December), but once it had become established, widespread heavy rain featured for the next four months, except over the NT and Queensland in February. One particularly noteworthy event occurred towards the end of January when an intense low (central pressure near 990 hPa) on the monsoon trough, drifted slowly westward across the central NT generating large quantities of rain. A two-day deluge of 482 mm fell at Supplejack in the Tanami Desert (NT), resulting in major flooding over the Victoria River catchment. A large part of the central NT had its wettest January on record. Widespread areas of above average rain in WA were mainly due to the passages of several decaying tropical cyclones, and to a lesser extent southward incursions of tropical moisture interacting with mid-latitude systems. Severe tropical cyclone Clare crossed the Pilbara coast on 9t h January and then moved on a southerly track across the western fringes of WA as a rain depression. Significant flooding occurred around Lake Grace where 226 mm of rain fell in a 24-hour period from 12 t h to 13 t h January. Tropical cyclone Emma crossed the Pilbara coast on 28 th February and moved on a southerly track; very heavy rain fell in the headwaters of the Murchison River on 1s t March causing this river’s highest flood on record.

The primary purpose of conducting reviews of this nature is to provide an overview as to whether public funds in programs selected for examination, are being spent in an economic and efficient manner consistent with government policies and objectives. Constructive suggestions are also provided in line with the ongoing process of modifying and improving financial management and accountability controls within the public sector. I am pleased to advise that this review has already proven to be of benefit to the government departments involved, as evidenced by their positive replies detailing initiatives already undertaken or evolving. I am also hopeful that this report will assist in resolving other issues, including the development of a policy on the use and management of public buildings. The co-operation and assistance received by my staff from the departments during the course of the review was appreciated. It is my view that there is a growing awareness by government agencies of the advantages to be gained from such reviews, particularly the provision of independent advice on areas of concern.

The appropriate scientific name for each orchid taxon is based on data published in the scientific or historical literature, and/or from study of the relevant type specimens or illustrations and study of taxa as herbarium specimens, in the field or in the living state. Structure of the index: Genera and species are listed alphabetically. Accepted names for taxa are in bold, followed by the author(s), place and date of publication, details of the type(s), including where it is held and assessment of its status. The institution(s) where type specimen(s) are housed are recorded using the international codes for Herbaria (Appendix 1) as listed in Holmgren et al’s Index Herbariorum (1981) continuously updated, see [http://sciweb.nybg.org/science2/IndexHerbariorum.asp].

  • Changes to the Drivers of Fire Weather with a Warming Climate – a Case Study of Southeast Tasmania
    Climatic Change DOI 10.1007/s10584-014-1070-y Changes to the drivers of fire weather with a warming climate – a case study of southeast Tasmania Michael R. Grose & Paul Fox-Hughes & Rebecca M. B. Harris & Nathaniel L. Bindoff Received: 7 June 2013 /Accepted: 26 January 2014 # Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2014 Abstract Projected changes to the global climate system have great implications for the incidence of large infrequent fires in many regions. Here we examine the synoptic-scale and local-scale influences on the incidence of extreme fire weather days and consider projections of the large-scale mean climate to explore future fire weather projections. We focus on a case study region with periodic extreme fire dangers; southeast Tasmania, Australia. We compare the performance of a dynamically downscaled regional climate model with Global Climate Model outputs as a tool for examining the local-scale influences while accounting for high regional variability. Many of the worst fires in Tasmania and the southeast Australian region are associated with deep cold fronts and strong prefrontal winds. The downscaled simulations reproduce this synoptic type with greater fidelity than a typical global climate model. The incidence of systems in this category is projected to increase through the century under a high emission scenario, driven mainly by an increase in the temperature of air masses, with little change in the strength of the systems. The regional climate model projected increase in frequency is smaller than for the global climate models used as input, with a large model range and natural variability. We also demonstrate how a blocking Foehn effect and topo- graphic channelling contributed to the extreme conditions during an extreme fire weather day in Tasmania in January 2013.
