Revised climate scenarios Improved predictions are a basis for better national and global responses. C. Southern and inland areas are likely to warm more than northern parts. International cooperation is cost effective and will benefit primary producers, city planners, coastal engineers, policy-makers and others whose work requires better predictions of the effect of changes. However, scientists remain uncertain about how global warming might affect ENSO - and hence Australia's climate. Results are improving computer-based world climate models used by planners to help decide actions in areas such as agriculture and building.
Climate science is a global business.
The technique can be incorporated into regional climate forecasts and climate change impact assessments. The North Pacific was thought to be an almost motionless basin. It enhances understanding of marine ecosystems, too. Analyses have given new insights into the Antarctic Circumpolar Current and its effects. Other work has built knowledge of the Indonesian Through-flow, linking our ocean systems.
