 | The rain band near the equator that determines the supply of freshwater to nearly a billion people throughout the tropics and subtropics has been creeping north for more than 300 years. If the band continues to migrate at just less than a mile a year, which is the average for all the years it has been moving north, then some Pacific islands near the equator may be starved of freshwater by midcentury or sooner. ...> Full Article |
 | Aerosols may have a greater impact on patterns of Australian rainfall and future climate change than previously thought, according to leading atmospheric scientist, CSIRO's Dr. Leon Rotstayn. ...> Full Article |
Since this century, biennial oscillations have been observed from the southern China rainfall (SCR), the central China rainfall (CCR), and the equatorial sea surface (subsurface) temperature anomaly (SSTA) near the dateline. The above-normal summer CCR in 2003, 2005 and 2007 followed the prior winter-spring positive SSTA. Regarding this relationship, a successful forecast for the exceptional 2008-summer SCR was made in the early 2008.
