Transforming our research capacity in the analysis of climate extremes

鉴于极端气候事件的破坏性影响，现在迫切需要了解极端气候事件的驱动因素，并及时预测其未来风险。对包括全球观测和多模式模拟输出的综合极端数据集的分析将极大地提高我们回答有关极端气候事件的性质和变异性的基本问题的能力。该项目还确保政府继续致力于管理与极端事件相关的风险，将其作为国家的紧急优先事项。这是澳大利亚领导一些世界领先的气候科学家与气候数据和模型中心之间的国际合作的一个里程碑式的机会。

Given their devastating impacts, there is now a critical urgency to understand what drives extreme climate events and make timely predictions of their future risk. The analysis of comprehensive extremes datasets, comprising global observations and output of multi-model simulations, will greatly improve our ability to answer fundamental questions about the nature and variability of extreme climatic events. This project also ensures the government's continued commitment to managing the risks associated with extreme events as an urgent national priority. It represents a landmark opportunity for Australian leadership of an international collaboration between some of the world's leading climate scientists and climate data and modelling centres.
