WAMSI 2 - Kimberley Node - Project 2.2.7 Climate modelling - 2069

In this project (Kimberley Marine Research Project 2.2.7), historical data and numerical models have been used to identify the climate sensitivity of the Kimberley coast (Western Australia) to interannual and decadal climate variability in the Pacific and Indian Ocean over the past several decades, especially on the variability of ocean temperature, precipitation and salinity, sea level, and shelf current associated with El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO), Indian Ocean Dipole, and Pacific Decadal Oscillation. These analyses have provided the background understanding of the marine environment off the whole northwest shelf including the Kimberley coast and Scott Reef, to improve the predictability of climate-driven environmental variability, especially extreme events such as marine heatwaves. We have also utilised ocean downscaling models to project future climate change impacts on the marine environment such as the ocean temperature and internal wave characteristics.

Data for model year 2069 only

在本项目（金伯利海洋研究项目2.2.7）中，研究人员利用历史数据与数值模型，识别了过去数十年间澳大利亚西部金伯利海岸对太平洋及印度洋年际与年代际气候变率的敏感性——尤其聚焦于与厄尔尼诺-南方涛动（El Niño–Southern Oscillation, ENSO）、印度洋偶极子（Indian Ocean Dipole）及太平洋年代际振荡（Pacific Decadal Oscillation）相关的海洋温度、降水、盐度、海平面及陆架流的变异性。这些分析为包括金伯利海岸与斯科特礁在内的整个西北陆架外海域的海洋环境提供了背景认知，旨在提升气候驱动的环境变率（尤其是极端事件，如海洋热浪）的可预测性。

本数据集仅包含模型模拟的2069年数据。
