Abstract | This paper presents a study of variability of climate indices and rainfall in southeast Queensland (SE Qld). Using high-resolution gridded rainfall data for all of Australia and global sea surface temperatures (SST), the relationship between rainfall Australia-wide and in SE Qld in particular with SST indices and the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) have been investigated. It is found that SE Qld is more subject to the breakdown of correlations between the SOI and rainfall than any other part of Australia. Model predictions suggest that this is probable in the future. |
