Understanding the causes of precipitation and variability of precipitation in areas such as the Snowy Mountains is critical for regional water resource management. A number of climate drivers influence precipitation in this region. This research demonstrates that relationships are not stationary over time, and represents a step forward in understanding the complex interactions between teleconnections and synoptic atmospheric circulation that drive precipitation variability.
