Description
Join us to learn more about the research happening at the Fenner School. This week, in a series of 10 minute talks, we'll delve into four different topics by four of our wonderful researchers.
Sombol Mokhles - Core dynamics of cities’ transition to a climate-safe future
Mike Hutchinson - Near real time ANUClimate grids for agricultural monitoring and decision making
The Australia wide ANUClimate alpha grids have been developed at the Fenner School to support the Enhanced Drought Information System of the NSW Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development. The alpha grids are the near real time counterpart to the ongoing ANUClimate stable grids that were initially developed for the former Australian Greenhouse Office and with initial support from the Terrestrial Ecosystems Research Network (TERN). The stable climate grids are now being taken up by a wide range of users, with an average of 263 unique users per month from 92 countries over the last year. The grid generation process includes reliable automated data quality assurance built around the ANUSPLIN spatial interpolation package. Some brief insights into the methodology and comparisons with AWAP and SILO grids are provided. Future directions are also discussed.
