Fifteen years of regional climate downscaling in CORDEX-Australasia

Regional climate modelling plays a central role in understanding and projecting climate change across Australasia, a region characterised by complex topography, diverse climate regimes, and high exposure to climate extremes. Over the past fifteen years, CORDEX-Australasia has coo...

Assessment of Tropical Cyclones Over the Australian Region From Downscaled CORDEX‐CMIP6 Simulations

Abstract Tropical cyclones (TCs) cause major economic losses in Australia due to severe winds and floods; however global climate models (GCMs) are too coarse to properly resolve them. Here, we dynamically downscale ERA5 reanalysis and 16 CMIP6 simulations from 11 GCMs using the C...
