  • This user guide describes the important instructions for using the Tasmanian Extreme Wind Hazard Standalone Tool (TEWHST). It aims to assist the Tasmanian State Emergency Service (SES) to view the spatial nature of extreme wind hazard (and how it varies depending on the direction of the extreme wind gusts). This information indicates detailed spatial texture for extreme hazard, which can provide guidance for understanding where the local-scale hazard (and impact) is expected to be greatest for any particular event depending on the intensity and directional influence of the broad-scale severe storm.

    This GSWA Southern Cross Total Count Grid Geodetic is an airborne-derived radiometric total count window countrate grid for the Southern Cross, WA, 1995-96 (Fugro) survey. The radiometric, or gamma-ray spectrometric method, measures the natural variations in the gamma-rays detected near the Earth's surface as the result of the natural radioactive decay of total count (K), total count (U) and total count (Th). The data collected are processed via standard methods to ensure the response recorded is that due only to the rocks in the ground. The results produce datasets that can be interpreted to reveal the geological structure of the sub-surface. The processed data is checked for quality by GA geophysicists to ensure that the final data released by GA are fit-for-purpose. This GSWA Southern Cross Total Count Grid Geodetic has a cell size of 0.0005 degrees (approximately 51m). The data are in units of counts per second (cps). The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 1995 by the WA Government, and consisted of 42693 line-kilometres of data at 100m line spacing and 50m terrain clearance.

  • Tropical Cyclone (TC) Yasi crossed Queensland's Cassowary Coast during the night of 2nd and 3rd of February, 2011. The cyclone was forecast to be a severe storm with wind gusts expected to exceed the design gust wind speeds for houses set out in AS4055, BoM (2011). Following the passage of the cyclone, it was evident that significant damage to the region's building stock had occurred. Geoscience Australia (GA), together with collaborators from the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research, New Zealand (NIWA), Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) and Maddocks & Associates, undertook a survey of damage to the region's buildings caused by severe wind and storm surge. This paper reports on the survey.
