Recent Changes in Mean and Extreme Temperature and Precipitation in the Western Pacific Islands Open
Trends in mean and extreme annual and seasonal temperature and precipitation over the 1951–2015 period were calculated for 57 stations in 20 western Pacific Ocean island countries and territories. The extremes indices are those of the Worl…

Observed Global Changes in Sector‐Relevant Climate Extremes Indices—An Extension to HadEX3 Open
Global gridded data sets of observed extremes indices underpin assessments of changes in climate extremes. However, similar efforts to enable the assessment of indices relevant to different sectors of society have been missing. Here we pre…

Traditional knowledge for climate resilience in the Pacific Islands Open
Pacific Islands, many relatively remote and small, have been occupied by people for more than 3000 years during which time they experienced climate‐driven environmental changes (both slow and rapid onset) that challenged human survival and…
Pacific Islands Climate Change Monitor: 2021 Open
About this Report This report draws on the latest meteorological and oceanographic data and information to describe historical change in Pacific Island climate. There is significant demand at regional, national and local community levels w…
Tropical cyclone contribution to extreme rainfall over southwest Pacific Island nations Open
Southwest Pacific nations are among some of the worst impacted and most vulnerable globally in terms of tropical cyclone (TC)-induced flooding and accompanying risks. This study objectively quantifies the fractional contribution of TCs to …

On the use of mean and extreme climate indices to predict sugar yield in western Fiji Open
Sugarcane is one of Fiji's largest commercial agricultural crops and greater than 80% of the raw sugar produced is exported. Few sugar-producing countries are as dependant on the contribution of sugar to the export market as Fiji. There ha…

Development of an Updated Global Land In Situ‐Based Data Set of Temperature and Precipitation Extremes: HadEX3 Open
We present the second update to a data set of gridded land‐based temperature and precipitation extremes indices: HadEX3. This consists of 17 temperature and 12 precipitation indices derived from daily, in situ observations and recommended …
