Abstract

The majority of climate models project a winter rainfall
reduction over south-eastern Australia (SEA), while some
show a tendency for a summer rainfall increase. The
dynamics for these rainfall changes are not clear. Using
outputs from a climate model, we show that a summer
rainfall increase is consistent with a large Tasman Sea
warming promoting convection, and an upward trend of the
Southern Annular Mode (SAM) promoting onshore flows;
these processes dominate over a rainfall decrease from an
El Nino-like warming pattern. In winter, similar effects from a Tasman Sea warming and an upward SAM trend operate
along Australia’s east coast, however, the rain-reducing
impact of an Indian Ocean Dipole-like warming pattern
dominates. In both seasons, the upward SAM trend causes
a rainfall reduction over southern Australia. Summer
rainfall over north-western Australia is projected to
decrease, due to an unrealistic relationship with the El Nino- Southern Oscillation. Possible uncertainties are discussed.
