Brief description

This database presents classified wind gust events for all Australian Automatic Weather Stations, based on semi-automatic classification of 1-minute observations of wind gust speed, temperature, dew point and station pressure. Wind events are classified based on the temporal evolution of the weather variables, using convolutional kernel transforms. Additional attributes include a number of derived variables (e.g. rainfall preceding and following the gust event), contemporaneous weather phenomena and binary classifications from a range of authors.

The main classification is described by Arthur, Hu and Allen (submitted to Natural Hazards, 2024).

Weather observation data are provided by the Bureau of Meteorology. Lightning data (2004-2024) was provided by TOA Systems Global Lightning Network.

Notes

Purpose
Publication of the dataset is a milestone for the Thunderstorm Event Data project GA is completing with support from Queensland Fire and Emergency Services. The database will enable improved understanding of the spatial and temporal distribution of a range of severe wind storm types, providing guidance on planning and preparations, and also utility for establishing wind loading design criteria.
