The climate drivers for New South Wales, the Northern Territory and Tasmania have been analysed and documented and are published on Climate Kelpie.
The climate drivers for South Australia, Western Australia, Victoria and Queensland have been revised and the changes have been published on Climate Kelpie.

We have improved our forecasting skill at using the Indian Ocean as a climate driver.
Modelling has shown the trade-off between sowing date and frost risk. Frost forecasts may only be of value in areas where there is small yield potential with delayed sowing and where there is a high frost risk.
The risk of frost is significantly affected when there are large monthly or seasonal temperature deviations during a particularly warm or cold season.

SEACI 1 was extended for 6 months to June 2009. SEACI 2 continues to focus on climate change, forecasting skill and the prediction of runoff and soil moisture.
Friday, June 25th, 2010
SEACI 1 has helped define the implications of climate change for runoff in the Murray Basin, the level of climate change already experienced and the role of key drivers, including the Indian Ocean Dipole, the Southern Annual Mode and the Pacific Ocean.

Focusing on sub-tropical eastern Australia – including the northern grains belt, southern cane industry, the southern Qld and northern NSW dairy industry, subtropical grazing, most of Australia’s cotton industry and a range of subtropical horticultural crops – this project identified key climate science R&D necessary to improve existing forecast skill.
