Given their devastating impacts, there is now a critical urgency to understand what drives extreme climate events and make timely predictions of their future risk. The analysis of comprehensive extremes datasets, comprising global observations and output of multi-model simulations, will greatly improve our ability to answer fundamental questions about the nature and variability of extreme climatic events. This project also ensures the government's continued commitment to managing the risks associated with extreme events as an urgent national priority. It represents a landmark opportunity for Australian leadership of an international collaboration between some of the world's leading climate scientists and climate data and modelling centres.

鉴于极端气候事件的破坏性影响，现在迫切需要了解极端气候事件的驱动因素，并及时预测其未来风险。对包括全球观测和多模式模拟输出在内的综合极端数据集进行分析，将大大提高我们回答有关极端气候事件的性质和可变性的基本问题的能力。该项目还确保政府继续致力于将管理与极端事件相关的风险作为国家紧急优先事项。这是澳大利亚领导世界上一些主要气候科学家与气候数据和建模中心之间国际合作的一个里程碑式的机会。
