• Progress– Excellent on most fronts, reasonable on others
• Challenges– Unforeseen Raupach ‘National Service’ commitments, recovery from surgery
(several months of effective downtime)• PMSEIC (now concluded)• Recent emergency contract from DCCEE• AAS Science of Climate Change: Questions and Answers• AGU Water in the Murray-Darling Basin -- the finite-planet challenge in microcosm (will submit as a SEACI
publication)
– Briggs long-service leave in Nepal (one month Oct-Nov)– Haverd CABLE-SLI / CASA-CNP / HPCC challenges– Paget, King, Briggs (WRON server instability issue)
• Impact on deliverables– Delays to some publications (Raupach et al. general AWAP paper; Haverd et al.
CABLE-SLI paper)• Contentious issues
– Policy: nothing– Scientific: temperature sensitivity of water balance components? to be discussed
with 2.2• Major changes in research direction
– None, though we may re-evaluate the approaches to linear modelling if required (and have switched modelling platform to R to facilitate this)

Activities1. Maintain and enhance the AWAP hydromet data
stream
2. Produce regionally-averaged time series of AWAP hydromet
3. Apply a general statistical model to relate water balance responses to a set of climate indices
4. Determine parameters in the statistical model over the whole of Australia (including SE Australia)
5. Identify and explain the different sensitivities of hydrological responses (soil moisture, runoff and evaporation) to the drivers (rainfall, temperature). Particularly: what determines the gain of the rainfall-runoff amplifier?

Statistical modelling: ProgressNon-linear (Whan, Raupach)• Excellent progress with CART (Classification and Regression Tree),
important results• Key finding: With appropriate use, forecasts of wet, medium or dry
conditions for the MDB can be made 6 months out with 70% skill, comparable to nowcasting.
Linear (Raupach, Briggs)• Good progress with methods; analysis somewhat delayed.• Model developed in Matlab, implemented in F90, re-implemented in R
to improve flexibility in choice of methods• Post-processing routines developed to map continent-wide correlation
matrices by ANRA drainage basin• Preliminary results suggest skills that are not comparable to CART, but
we have not explored the analysis space very far yet.

Background: Physical model analysis (Haverd, Raupach, Briggs)
Temperature sensitivity of the Murray Basin water balance: an assessment using the CABLE-SLI land surface scheme (Haverd)
• Motivation– Defensible evaluation of sensitivity of SEOz water balance to meteorological inputs,
particularly sensitivity of runoff to air temperature– Attribution of met-sensitivity to land surface processes
• Approach– Application of detailed land surface model: CABLE-SLI, which accounts for coupled
water, energy and carbon stores fluxes in soil and vegetation.– CABLE-SLI embedded in AWAP framework– NB. CABLE process description embodies more of our unsterstanding of T-sens of
land surface processes than WaterDyn: leaf and soil temperatures are calculated and used to drive T-dep processes including soil evap, wet canopy evap, transpiration and photosynthesis.
– Model data fusion using multiple data types (soil moisture, streamflow, flux data, long-term NPP observations)
– Model runs with and without met perturbations
![Page 14: Impact of climate variability and change on the water balance Mike Raupach, Peter Briggs, Vanessa Haverd Matt Paget, Kirien Whan Project 1.2](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649efb5503460f94c0ea05/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Progress: Physical model analysis
Temperature sensitivity of the Murray Basin water balance: an assessment using the CABLE-SLI land surface scheme (Haverd)
• Achievements– Leaf area partitioned between woody and herbaceous components– Tiled model with woody/grassy tiles leading to partition of fluxes between woody
and grassy components– Merging with CASA-CNP biogeochemical model to enable estimation of carbon
fluxes and stores, and hence model evaluation against carbon observations.– Merging simplified TOPMODEL with existing soil module to enable partition
between saturated and unsaturated zones and hence improved prediction of stream-flow dynamics.
• Outcomes– Prediction of more observables, particularly Carbon fluxes and stores, and
hence the opportunity to more tightly constrain model predictions (including WB predictions) using corresponding observations.
– A more tightly constrained model and hence enhanced confidence in predictions of met sensitivity of the WB, as well as the ability to attribute met sensitivities to processes.
![Page 15: Impact of climate variability and change on the water balance Mike Raupach, Peter Briggs, Vanessa Haverd Matt Paget, Kirien Whan Project 1.2](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649efb5503460f94c0ea05/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Key Finding: Continental NPP consists of equal contributions from woody and grassy vegetation
Total NPP: 234 gCm-2
Woody NPP: 119 gCm-2 Grassy NPP: 115 gCm-2
Reasons for distinguishing woody and grassy veg:
• Different root density distributions: deep soil moisture more accessible to woody veg
• Different biomass turnover times: important when using biomass observations to constrain model predictions

Forward Planning 2011-12
Data Generation and Maintenance• Process improvement
– Automated daily mirroring of BoM data archive at CSIRO– Automated dynamic updating of model results, and web serving– Outcomes: merging of historical and operational streams to single, automated,
dynamically updated modelling system leading to reduced staff time on this activity• Operationalisation of AWAP WaterDyn at BoM• Delivery of AWAP overview paper, minor metadata items as appropriate
Statistical Modelling• Non-linear: Further questions for CART analysis of the MDB:
– Why is it so skillful?– Where do we lose skill?– Is the whole MDB too coarse an analysis region—what happens as you refine the
scale?• Linear:
– Further exploration of the modes-of-climate-variability space using the current R infrastructure, with consideration of method changes as required.
Physical model analysis• Subject to discussion shortly
