Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to outline a proposed seasonal water availability prediction service and, in particular, to describe the modelling components behind the service and their future development. In terms of its climate, Australia has experienced a remarkable decade. The continent has had its warmest period since records began and southern areas have been extremely dry. A seasonal water availability prediction service has been needed in Australia for many years and the Australian Government's recent investment in water information will help address this need. A seasonal climate prediction service has been operating in the Bureau of Meteorology since 1989 but its primary focus has bee..
