The vertical structure of atmospheric circulations is a key determinant of rainfall patterns and climate, but model projections do not agree on how it will change in a warmer world. This project aims to discover the processes that control the vertical structure of tropical atmospheric circulations. It will combine theory development, analysis of observations, and targeted modelling to generate new knowledge of the mechanisms affecting atmospheric circulations as the climate changes. This will allow for process-based identification of the most reliable climate models, facilitating increased confidence in future projections. More accurate tropical climate projections will benefit decision making for resource management in northern Australia.

大气循环的垂直结构是降雨模式和气候的关键决定因素，但是模型预测并不同意它在温暖的世界中如何改变。该项目旨在发现控制热带大气循环的垂直结构的过程。它将结合理论的发展，观察结果分析和有针对性的建模，以产生有关随着气候变化而影响大气循环的机制的新知识。这将允许基于过程的最可靠的气候模型识别，从而促进对未来预测的信心增加。更准确的热带气候预测将使澳大利亚北部资源管理的决策受益。
