Les observations satellitaires suggèrent depuis longtemps qu’il pleut plus souvent au-dessus des villes. Une nouvelle étude révèle toutefois que les progrès des systèmes d’observation expliquent une part non négligeable de cette tendance.

A new study shows it does rain more in cities, but the trend over time has been exaggerated by changes in satellites.
It’s important to produce complex, precise simulations of our future climate. But equally, we need to make sure businesses can actually understand and use them.
We don’t yet fully understand what global climate tipping points mean for Australia. But we know enough to conclude the impacts of passing one or more tipping points must now be considered.
An article in the eminent US magazine Science has triggered debate over whether scientists should use climate models. Here’s what you should know about climate models ahead of today’s IPCC report.
In any given year, there’s a 1% chance of a ‘once in a century’ flood. But that doesn’t mean they can’t happen more than once in quick succession.
The absence of climate drivers – specifically, the Indian Ocean Dipole and La Niña – explains why Australia has gone so long without heavy rains.
CSIRO’s climate scientists haven’t “finished” just because climate change is real. Without their expertise, we could waste billions on drought or flood planning that’s not backed by the latest science.
Over the past week or so, the Bureau of Meteorology has stood accused of fudging its temperature data records to emphasise warming, in a series of articles in The Australian. The accusation hinges on the…
On September 27 2013 the 5th Assessment Report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) will be released. One part of this report will address the so-called “warming hiatus”. This is the…
Data analysis from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology has confirmed last summer was the hottest on record, with January the hottest month recorded since 1910, when records began. Average temperatures…
Most of us don’t really understand climate change, and for some of us that means we can’t accept it. Sure, the evidence is compelling, but sadly humans aren’t always interested in evidence when it comes…
