Greenhouse gases are changing air flow over the Pacific Ocean – raising Australia's risks of extreme weather

Retrieved on: 
Wednesday, August 23, 2023

The pattern and strength of air flows over the Pacific Ocean, combined with sea surface temperatures, determines whether Australia experiences El Niño or La Niña events.

Key Points: 
  • The pattern and strength of air flows over the Pacific Ocean, combined with sea surface temperatures, determines whether Australia experiences El Niño or La Niña events.
  • That means in the future we could see more of these multi-year La Niña or El Niño type events.

    La Niña is finishing an extremely unusual three-year cycle – here's how it affected weather around the world

An ocean-atmosphere climate system

    • La Niña and its counterpart El Niño are the two extremes of the El Niño Southern Oscillation — a coupled ocean-atmosphere system that plays a major role in global climate variability.
    • Air rises over the Indo-Pacific Warm Pool (a region of the ocean that stays warm year-round) and flows eastward high in the atmosphere.
    • But the Walker Circulation doesn’t always flow with the same intensity — sometimes it is stronger, and sometimes it is weaker.
    • Periods of stronger or weaker Walker Circulation have major impacts on Australian climate.

What’s happening to the Walker Circulation?

    • A stronger-than-usual Walker Circulation even contributed to the “global warming slowdown” of the early 2000s.
    • This is because a stronger Walker Circulation is often associated with slightly cooler global temperature.
    • And to do that, we need information about how the Walker Circulation behaved before humans started affecting the climate system.
    • We found that on average, there has not yet been any industrial-era change in the strength of the Walker Circulation.

What is the message for Australians?

    • This approach might help us get more accurate predictions of future Walker Circulation change.
    • Be prepared for a couple of years of weak Walker Circulation, and the warm, dry weather that can bring.
