Assessing clouds and rainfall in Australia's community climate model - Towards an improved simulation of Australia's water resources

气候变化可能会对澳大利亚的水资源造成重大影响。要妥善应对这一挑战，就需要使用现代地球系统模型对未来气候进行可靠的预测。通过彻底评估澳大利亚的社区气候模型，这项研究将为澳大利亚的适应政策提供信息，并通过随后的模型开发，将有助于显着提高我们理解和预测气候变化的能力。通过更好地为水资源管理提供信息，这项研究是对环境可持续的澳大利亚的重要贡献。

Climate change is likely to significantly affect Australia's water resources. A well-measured response to this challenge requires reliable projections of future climate using modern Earth System Models. By thoroughly evaluating Australia's community climate model this research will inform Australia's adaptation policy and through subsequent model development it will contribute to significant improvements in our ability to understand and predict climate change. Through better informing water resource management the research constitutes an important contribution to an environmentally sustainable Australia.
