Abstract El Nino–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) in a century-long integration of a Bureau of Meteorology Research Centre (BMRC) coupled general circulation model (CGCM) drives rainfall and temperature changes over Australia that are generally consistent with documented observational changes: dry/hot conditions occur more frequently during El Nino years and wet/mild conditions occur more frequently during La Nina years. The relationship between ENSO [as measured by Nino-4 or the Southern Oscillation index (SOI), say] and all-Australia rainfall and temperature is found to be nonlinear in the observations and in the CGCM during June–December: a large La Nina sea surface temperature (SST) anomaly is closely linked to a large Australian response (i.e., Australia usually becomes much wetter), whereas the magnitude of an El Nino SST anomaly is a poorer guide to how dry Australia will actually become. Australia tends to dry out during El Nino events, but the degree of drying is not as tightly linked to the magnitude...
