Tropical cyclone wind hazard simulation for Tonga  


Authors / CoAuthors

Abstract

This dataset provides an assessment of the tropical cyclone wind hazard for the Kingdom of Tonga. The data was generated to provide a collection of scenarios for detailed impact mapping as part of the PacSAFE project (2016-2018), funded by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The dataset includes a catalogue of synthetic tropical cyclone tracks and the corresponding maximum wind swaths, average recurrence interval (ARI) wind speeds for ARIs from 5 to 10,000 years, and hazard profiles for selected locations within the simulation domain.
