Australia possesses capability in the area of palaeoclimate modelling, but efforts to understand our past natural climate variations are hampered by the computational profligacy of such models. Further, Australia does not possess a capability in intermediate complexity models which would allow experiments that take account of tectonic time scales. This initiative aims to develop a framework to allow the integration of climate system models with grid computing approaches (such as Nimrod/G) and test this framework on a pilot study of the Australian palaeomonsoon system. In addition, we will use this initiative to develop international linkages to enhance our ability to address problems of importance to Australian natural climate variability.

澳大利亚在古气候建模领域拥有能力，但了解我们过去自然气候变化的努力受到这种模型计算浪费的阻碍。此外，澳大利亚不具备中等复杂性模型的能力，这将允许考虑到构造时间尺度的实验。这一举措旨在制定一个框架，以便将气候系统模型与网格计算方法（例如尼姆罗德/G）结合起来，并在澳大利亚古季风系统的试点研究中测试这一框架。此外，我们将利用这一倡议发展国际联系，以提高我们解决对澳大利亚自然气候变异性具有重要意义的问题的能力。
