Brief description

Tropical cyclone wind hazard across Queensland and the Coral Sea was evaluated using Geoscience Australia's Tropical Cyclone Risk Model (TCRM), which provides a spatial representation of the AEP wind speeds arising from tropical cyclones, as part of the Severe Wind Hazard Assessment for South East Queensland (SWHA-SEQ) project. The project is a collaboration between Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES), Geoscience Australia, James Cook University (JCU) and six coastal local governments in South East Queensland.

This regional wind hazard data underpins a local-scale risk assessment for South East Queensland, which included the effects of synoptic and severe thunderstorms on wind hazard. The assessment aslo provides a baseline for projections of future TC wind hazard in the Queensland region. Details of the hazard assessment are provided in the Severe Wind Hazard Assessment for South East Queensland – SWHA-SEQ Technical Report (https://pid.geoscience.gov.au/dataset/ga/147446). 

Lineage

Maintenance and Update Frequency: notPlanned
Statement:
Data were generated by the Tropical Cyclone Risk Model (TCRM; Arthur, 2021), utilising tropical cyclone data from the International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship (IBTrACS; Knapp et al., 2018) and ERA5 data (Hersbach et al., 2020). This research was undertaken with the assistance of resources from the National Computational Infrastructure (NCI Australia), an NCRIS enabled capability supported by the Australian Government.

Notes

Purpose
Provide a spatial representation of the tropical cyclone-related wind hazard over Queensland and the Coral Sea region, based on historical tropical cyclone activity
