A laboratory model of the southern hemisphere mid-latitude ocean-atmosphere system will be used to investigate the dynamics of ocean-atmosphere coupling contributing to the Antarctic Circumpolar Wave (ACW). The ACW is a recently discovered multi-year climate oscillation which has considerable effect on Australian and New Zealand precipitation. This will be the first laboratory model to include global scale ocean-atmosphere processes, and will be used to test proposed mechanisms for the driving of the climate oscillation that is attributed to the ACW. The project will provide knowledge required for improved computational modelling and climate predictions.

将利用南半球中纬度海洋-大气系统的一个实验室模式来研究海洋-大气耦合对南极绕极波的影响。ACW是最近发现的一种多年气候振荡，对澳大利亚和新西兰的降水有相当大的影响。这将是第一个包括全球尺度海洋-大气过程的实验室模型，并将用于测试归因于ACW的气候振荡驱动机制。该项目将提供改进计算模型和气候预测所需的知识。
