Abstract
These datasets contain both fundamental and also final outputs in the form of files, rasters and vectors. These datasets are utilised to provide a measure of Tasmanian severe wind risk for both current climate and two climate change scenarios. To provide a measure of Tasmanian severe wind risk for both current climate and two climate change scenarios, this study has developed: (1) an understanding of severe wind hazard for two climate change scenarios (at 2060 & 2100) separately considering thunderstorm downbursts and synoptic winds and then combining the elements to construct hazard with regards to likelihood and intensity for the region. The outputs of general circulation climate models were forced by two increasing greenhouse gas trajectories (A2 & B1 scenarios) to give representative wind hazard for the respective possible future greenhouse gas concentrations scenarios. (2) an understanding of how residential building exposure may change for the case study regions (2060 & 2100) utilising the Australian Bureau of Statistics population projections (A, B & C series) and the National Exposure Information System (NEXIS) to project current trends in occupancy statistics. (3) a preliminary understanding of annualised loss due to wind exposure for urban areas within 42 Tasmanian regions (considering 10 year to 2000 year return period hazard). Regions have been ranked on the severity of loss, and key contributing factors driving the risk in these high wind risk regions are considered.
