Untangling the links between El Nino and the changing global climate

澳大利亚是一个干旱多雨的国家，控制这些循环的一个关键因素是厄尔尼诺-南方涛动(ENSO)。我们的项目将为国家带来以下好处：(I)加深对ENSO变异性的了解；(Ii)加深对ENSO极端情况的了解；(Iii)洞察导致ENSO变化的原因；以及(Iv)提高预测ENSO的能力。了解ENSO对于预测未来干旱和降雨的变化至关重要。这种理解将有助于我们使澳大利亚宝贵的农业和农业产业适应气候变化，并管理我们宝贵的水资源。

Australia is a country of 'drought and flooding rain', and a key factor governing these cycles is the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO). Our project will provide the following benefits to the nation (i) increased understanding of ENSO variability; (ii) increased knowledge of the extremes of ENSO; (iii) insights into what causes ENSO to vary; and (iv) improved ability to forecast ENSO. Understanding ENSO is essential for anticipating changes in drought and rain in the future. This understanding will help us to adapt Australia's valuable agricultural and farming industries to climate change, and to manage our precious water resources.
