Separation of daily maximum wind gust events for wind hazard assessment

<div>An automatic algorithm for classifying wind gust events has been developed at Geoscience Australia, utilizing 1-minute weather observations from Automatic Weather Stations (AWS). This algorithm employs a comprehensive dataset of wind, temperature, dew point, and pressure measurements within a two-hour timeframe centred on the peak wind gust.&nbsp;&nbsp;</div><div>

The classification methodology effectively segregates wind gust events into convective and non-convective categories. Initial development entails a subset of stations, employing visual classification verified by contemporaneous observer reports and weather radar data, to create a robust training dataset. The algorithm, based on the analysis of almost 1000 visually-classified events, demonstrates the capability to classify over 150,000 events in a matter of minutes.&nbsp;</div><div>

Utilizing wind gust events from past 20 years via our algorithm, the spatial distribution, diurnal cycle and seasonal variation are investigated across Australia. Moreover, a comparative analysis of spatial and temporal disparities, along with radar characteristics, has been conducted for convective and non-convective gust events. Finally, the extreme values of wind gust events, including the 1% annual exceedance probability wind speed (using the Generalized Pareto Distribution) across Australia is shown in this presentation. &nbsp;</div>
