Non-Stationary Precipitation Frequency Estimates for Resilient Infrastructure Design in a Changing Climate: A Case Study in Sydney by Shahab Doulabian, Erfan Ghasemi Tousi, Amirhossein Shadmehri Toosi, Sina Alaghmand

“…This study evaluated the impact of climate change on altering the precipitation frequency estimates (PFs) used in generating IDF curves at Sydney Airport. Seven general circulation models (GCMs) were obtained, and the best models in terms of providing the extreme series were selected. …”

Evaluation of Regional Air Quality Models over Sydney and Australia: Part 1—Meteorological Model Comparison by Khalia Monk, Elise-Andrée Guérette, Clare Paton-Walsh, Jeremy D. Silver, Kathryn M. Emmerson, Steven R. Utembe, Yang Zhang, Alan D. Griffiths, Lisa T.-C. Chang, Hiep N. Duc, Toan Trieu, Yvonne Scorgie, Martin E. Cope

“…Simulated vertical profiles of temperature, mixing ratio of water and wind (via wind speed and zonal wind components) were assessed through comparison with radiosonde data from the Sydney Airport BoM site. The statistical comparisons with observations identified systematic overestimations of wind speeds that were more pronounced overnight. …”

Analysis of a southerly buster event and associated solitary waves by Yuriy Kuleshov, Milton Speer, Tapan Rai, Lance Leslie, Shuang Wang

“…A simplified density current model produced speeds matching well with observational southerly buster data, at both Nowra and Sydney airports. Extending the density current theory, to include inertia-gravity effects, suggested that the solitary waves travel at a speed of ~20% faster than the density current. …”
