Australia's weather and climate is influenced in a myriad of ways by Antarctica and its environs. The complex manners in which weather systems interact with polar processes are fundamental in understanding these links. The dramatic changes which the Arctic has undergone in recent years present a very valuable environmental framework for understanding how the complex polar weather - climate connections change during a period of rapid change. This is of great national and community benefit in that it will lead to a fuller understanding of the polar regions, and present a broader context in which precipitation and other changes over southern Australia can be understood.

澳大利亚的天气和气候在很多方面受到南极洲及其周边地区的影响。天气系统与极地过程相互作用的复杂方式是理解这些联系的基础。北极近年来所经历的巨大变化为了解复杂的极地天气-气候联系在快速变化期间如何变化提供了一个非常宝贵的环境框架。这对国家和社区都有很大的好处，因为它将导致对极地地区的更全面的了解，并提供一个更广泛的背景，可以了解澳大利亚南部的降水和其他变化。
