Australia's proximity to the tropics results in major influences, both direct and indirect, of tropical weather and climate on society as a whole. Tropical convection is key to all those influences. The prediction of the many natural hazards related to convection as well as a projection of the influence and strength of these hazards under climate change is a matter of high national priority. Through an improved understanding of convection over tropical Australia and in its vicinity, the proposed research will improve our predictive tools and capabilities, thereby making a major contribution to decision-making in an environmentally sustainable Australia.

澳大利亚靠近热带，热带天气和气候对整个社会产生了直接和间接的重大影响。热带对流是所有这些影响的关键。预测与对流有关的许多自然灾害以及预测这些灾害在气候变化下的影响和强度是国家的一个高度优先事项。通过对澳大利亚热带地区及其附近对流的进一步了解，拟议的研究将改善我们的预测工具和能力，从而为澳大利亚环境可持续发展的决策做出重大贡献。
