2 Talk outline Current Australian trends and climate change Downscaling overview Hydrological projections Future research and summary
3 CSIRO s role CSIRO responding to the Federal Government s National Innovation System and current National Research Priorities Unique capacity of CSIRO to help resolve Australia s major challenges due to our size, geographic distribution and diversity of skills Developing better ways for CSIRO to deliver commercial, social and environmental outcomes from science Tackling Australia s biggest challenges High impact, high quality, multidisciplinary science Focus on outcomes
4 Water for a Healthy Country Provide Australia with solutions for water resource management, creating economic gains of $3 billion per annum by 23, while protecting or restoring our major water ecosystems Integrated Water Information Systems Healthy Water Ecosystems Regional Water Urban Water

10 Overallocation and increasing demand for water Many surface water systems are over-allocated Increasing demand from cities, industries, irrigation and the environment
11 Australian hydroclimates are different Australia is drier and less of its rainfall becomes runoff. Australian river flows are more variable than elsewhere in the world. ENSO-streamflow teleconnection in Australia is amongst the strongest in the world. low variability medium variability high variability little ENSO-runoff teleconnection x significant ENSO-runoff teleconnection
12 Rainfall elasticity of streamflow The rainfall elasticity of streamflow in Australia (2 3) is highest in the world. A ten percent change in mean annual rainfall is amplified as a 2 3 percent change in mean annual streamflow.
13 What will the future look like? 16 Southern MDB Annual runoff (mm) ? Some evidence linking part of the current drought to high global temperatures (intensification of STR, decreased La Nina events, high frequency of positive IOD, more frequent El Nino in combination with positive SAM). However, it is difficult to separate a global warming signal from the high natural climate variability.
14 Climate change projections Large uncertainties in global warming projections dependent on (i) greenhouse gas emission and (ii) global climate sensitivity to increased greenhouse gas concentrations. Large uncertainties in GCM modelling of local/regional rainfall response to global warming.
15 Modelling climate impact on water Global climate models (GCMs) Hydrological modelling Dynamic downscaling Downscaling Statistical downscaling
16 Downscaling GCM simulations to obtain catchment-scale climate series Simple scaling methods scale the entire historical daily rainfall series to obtain a future daily rainfall series, informed by GCM simulations for a future climate and a historical baseline climate. Statistical downscaling methods relate synoptic large-scale atmospheric predictors to catchment-scale rainfall, and the relationship is used to downscale atmospheric predictors from GCMs to obtain catchment scale-rainfall. Dynamic downscaling method uses a high resolution regional climate model with boundary conditions provided by large-scale GCM simulations. State H Probability State 2 State H L Probability Probability
17 Statistical downscaling aims to bridge the gap between the coarse scales simulated by global and regional climate models and finer scales required by process models Relationships between larger-scale climate variables & local surface climate variables, derived from observed data, are applied to climate model output...based on the two assumptions that: larger-scale variables are more reliably simulated relationships remain valid in a changed climate
18 Why do we need to statistically downscale? Occurrence Amounts (mm) GCM rainfall Observed rainfall GCM grid cell rainfall not representative of site rainfall
19 Why do we need to statistically downscale? Occurrence Amounts RCM rainfall Observed rainfall

21 Nonhomogeneous Hidden Markov Model Simulates stochastic local-scale daily time series based on a small set of hidden states defined from daily rainfall observations at a network of sites Provides a classification of the local rainfall patterns produced by regional-scale atmospheric variability Downscaling is achieved by allowing the Markovian transition probabilities between the states to vary nonhomogeneously over time according to a set of predictors
22 Nonhomogeneous Hidden Markov Model (NHMM) Observed process: sequence of rainfall patterns across a region Hidden discrete-valued process: sequence of weather states Transition from state to state driven by atmospheric information CSIRO
23 NHMM process Calibration process: Selection of rainfall station network (quality control for daily data non-trivial!) Selection of candidate atmospheric predictors (variables and domain) Selection of # of states and optimum combination of predictors Validation process: Out-of-sample reproduction of rainfall statistics Wet-day occurrence frequencies Wet- and dry-spell length distributions Rainfall amount distributions and interannual variability Spatial correlation for occurrences and amounts Outputs: NHMM is stochastic: multiple realisations of daily multi-site rainfall series Diagnosis of historical rainfall variability and atmospheric driver relationships Aids assessment of climate models: more confidence in SD projections CSIRO

39 Statistical downscaling benefits Spatial scale required by process models (rain gauge or grid) Daily, multi-site rainfall patterns weather states Frequencies, amounts, wet & dry spell-length distributions Inter-site spatial correlations Stochastic simulations conditional on observed or modelled atmospheric predictors (climate variability & change) Allow analysis and diagnosis of the drivers of observed regional rainfall change (e.g., SW Western Australia) Other variables (e.g. T, Rad) generated using a weather generator conditional on weather states and rainfall
40 Statistical downscaling caveats Networks of individual stations, not national coverage Assumes relationships derived for current climate hold for future climate (can be tested to some extent) Projections limited to periods with GCM daily data availability Results are sensitive to the choice of GCM thus GCM assessment and selection important GCM predictor biases degrade downscaled projections

52 Summary South-east Australia has experienced a prolonged decadal drought with unprecedented decline in streamflow. In south-west Australia, the mean annual streamflow after the mid-197s is less than half the earlier mean. Projections indicate that southern Australia is likely to be drier on average in the future. There are tools for estimating climate impact on water, using GCM projections, downscaling methods such as the NHMM, and hydrological models. Predictions of future water availability and runoff characteristics are improving rapidly with more data becoming available and with the rapid progress in climate and water science. However, the range of plausible future projections is likely to remain large.
