The aim of the project is to understand the dynamics of anticyclones (high pressure systems) in the region of southern Australia. The study of anticyclones in the region is important because of their very strong connection to rainfall in the winter, and heatwaves and bushfires in the summer, and because so little work has been done on understanding what is the defining feature of the climate of southern Australia. Understanding what controls the location and strength of these features will go a long way to explaining how the climate of southern Australia will change in a warmer world.

该项目的目的是了解南澳大利亚地区反气旋（高压系统）的动力学。研究该地区的反气旋非常重要，因为它们与冬季的降雨、夏季的热浪和森林大火有着密切的联系，而且在了解南澳大利亚气候的决定性特征方面所做的工作很少。了解是什么控制着这些特征的位置和强度，将有助于解释在一个更温暖的世界中，澳大利亚南部的气候将如何变化。
