             abstract = "A number of important characteristics of the global atmospheric 
                         circulation changed in a near monotonic fashion over the decade 
                         centred on the late 1960s, apparently caused by the rapid increase 
                         in anthropogenic aerosol emission during the 1950s and 1960s, 
                         and/or a reduction in the northward oceanic heat flux associated 
                         with the North Atlantic conveyor belt. These changes were largest 
                         or commonest in equatorial regions and the Southern Hemisphere, 
                         and are manifested through changes in tropical rainfall. Some, 
                         such as the decrease in rainfall in the African Sahel, are well 
                         known. Others appear to be new, but their extent is global, and 
                         dynamical linkages between them are evident. The list of affected 
                         variables includes patterns of SST; tropical rainfall in the 
                         African Sahel and Soudan, the Amazon basin and the West and 
                         Central Pacific; various branches of the southern Hadley 
                         circulation and the southern subtropical jet stream; the summer 
                         North Atlantic Oscillation; the Southern Hemisphere storm track, 
                         and the southern sea ice boundary. These changes are strongest in 
                         the June-August season; changes are also seen in 
                         December-February, but are generally smaller. Some effects of 
                         these changes are prominent in Southwest Western Australia (Baines 
                         2005, Aust. Met. Mag.). This presentation will focus on the 
                         associated changes elsewhere in Australia and the Southern 
                         Hemisphere.",
