Australian National Wind Multiplier Data Collection
Wind multipliers are factors that transform wind speeds over open, flat terrain (regional wind speeds) to local wind speeds that consider the effects of direction, terrain (surface roughness), shielding (buildings and structures) and topography (hills and ridges). During the assessment of local wind hazards (spatial significance in the order 10's of metres), wind multipliers allow for regional wind speeds (order 10 to 100's of kilometres) to be factored to provide local wind speeds.
<b>Value: </b>The wind multiplier data is used in modelling the impacts (i.e. physical damage) of wind-related events such as tropical cyclones (an input for Tropical Cyclone Risk assessment), thunderstorms and other windstorms.
<b>Scope: </b>Includes terrain, shielding and topographic multipliers for national coverage. Each multiplier further contains 8 directions.

<b>Source: </b>Computed by Geoscience Australia (GA) staff using the algorithms described in AS/NZS 1170.2 (2011). The code used to perform the calculation is available at https://github.com/GeoscienceAustralia/Wind_multipliers, or https://pid.geoscience.gov.au/dataset/ga/82481. Input data sources <br />
<br />
<b>Form: </b>It is based on tiles with dimension approximately 1 by 1 decimal degree in NetCDF format. Each multiplier (terrain, shielding and topographic) are stored in separate files.<br />
