- Distribution of monthly maximum temperature in Australia
- Time series of anomalies in sea-surface temperature and temperature over land in the Australian region
The Bureau of Meteorology and CSIRO contribute significantly to the international effort of weather and climate monitoring, forecasting and research. In State of the Climate 2014, they discuss the long-term trends in Australia’s climate. As with earlier reports, the focus is primarily on climate observations and monitoring carried out in the Australian region, as well as on future climate scenarios.
