Full description

Cyclone tracks were constructed using data supplied by the National Climate Centre in the Head Office of the Bureau of Meteorology. These records contained information on the timing, route and intensity of the cyclone, though prior to the advent of GPS and automated monitoring, some of this information was approximate at best. The final footprint of the cyclone used by the Catastrophe agents in NWS-InVitro was constructed by mapping a polygon over each leg of a cyclone's route, with the track as the centreline and a width of 30km on either side of that central track. These footprints and an intensity index were stored in the Cyclone.data and Disaster.data files for use in NWS-InVitro.

Statement: John Andrewartha down-loaded the data from a BoM web site and Franzis Althaus created a ACCESS table for summarising the data (see Marlin record 5970); a subser of the data in the database is relevant to the NWSJEMS Model (Task 2.7). Original point data was then analysed and polygons of each cyclone's route were generated.
