## Abstract In 1987, Neelin and Held showed how, in the tropics, surface heat fluxes and infrared radiation control atmospheric convergence, and hence rainfall, by means of their joint effect on the supply of moist static energy to the troposphere. They also showed that for a given rate of supply o
## Abstract Links between southern Australian rainfall totals and tropical indices are investigated with the aim of identifying potential explanations for observed trends over the period 1950โ2008. We find that, as has been noted in many previous studies, fluctuations in Indian Ocean sea surface te
Using 79 years of Australian monthly precipitation data we examined the nature of the persistence of rainfall anomalies. Analyses were performed for four climate regions covering the country, as well as for the entire Australian continent. We show that rainfall over these regions has high temporal v
## Abstract Secular changes are demonstrated by residual mass curves. It is shown that tropical rainfall decreased abruptly at the end of the 19th century. This was due largely to a contraction of the rainy belt and a shortening of the wet seasons. In the SE. Asian monsoon region the annual rainfal
