“KEY POINTS:
• A climate model is used to test the hypothesis that creating a large lake in central Australia would increase rainfall
• Locally, surface cooling effects of the lake suppress the formation of precipitation
• Regionally, moisture from the lake is exported to other areas but the amount is small compared to natural variability in Australian rainfall..."”
