Description

The Centre for Australian Weather and Climate Research is a partnership between the Bureau of Meteorology and CSIRO. This poster will highlight current activities related to and supported by ASR. These include:
  1. An analysis of cloud properties as a function of large-scale regime
  2. The observed impact of aerosol variations on rain DSD's
  3. Cloud property retrieval improvements
  4. Validation of global and regional NWP models using ARM and A-Train data
  5. Upgrades of Darwin observing capability including radar upgrades and deployment of aerosol and greenhouse gas measurements at Gunn Point in addition to ARCS upgrades.
Future activities will expand on these areas. This includes planned intensive observing campaigns.
