Abstract
Tropical cyclone Gita impacted the Kingdom of Tonga in February 2018, causing significant damage across the main island of Tongatapu. This dataset is a best estimate of the maximum local gust wind speed across Tongatapu, based on the best-available track information, elevation and land cover data. The data represents the maximum 0.2 second, 10-metre above ground level wind speed at (approximately) 25 metre horizontal resolution. The wind field was generated using: Geoscience Australia's Tropical Cyclone Risk Model - https://github.com/GeoscienceAustralia/tcrm Wind Multipliers code - https://github.com/GeoscienceAusralia/Wind_Multipliers TC Gita track was sourced from the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (http://www.metoc.navy.mil/jtwc/jtwc.html)
