The Southern Ocean cyclone belt has a strong influence on Australian weather and climate. This project will allow improvements in the understanding of intense small scale cyclones in the region. Importantly, the research will highlight key sensitivities in the coupling between these atmospheric circulations and the underlying sea ice. Further, the compilation of an updated Southern Ocean cyclone climatology will provide a basis for evaluating future changes in cyclone distribution and frequency of occurrence in the Antarctic region. Finally, by leading this unique international collaboration with German and US scientists, the profile of Australian scientists in Antarctic atmospheric research will be strongly enhanced.

南大洋气旋带对澳大利亚的天气和气候有很大的影响。该项目将有助于增进对该区域强烈小规模气旋的了解。重要的是，这项研究将突出这些大气环流和底层海冰之间耦合的关键敏感性。此外，汇编最新的南大洋气旋气候学将为评估南极地区气旋分布和发生频率的未来变化提供依据。最后，通过领导与德国和美国科学家的这一独特的国际合作，澳大利亚科学家在南极大气研究中的形象将得到大力提升。
