Name: Townsville Category 5 Local Wind Field (011-01326)
Display Field: Value
Type: Raster Layer
Geometry Type: null
Description: Local wind fields are calculated by applying local wind multipliers to regional wind fields. Wind speeds represent the 0.2-second duration wind gust at 10 m above ground level. Local influences of topography and land cover are incorporated in the local wind fields using wind multipliers.Wind speeds given in km/hFurther information on local wind fields for all scenarios is available in the Severe Wind Hazard Assessment – Queensland project report

Name: Townsville Category 5 Regional Wind Field (011-01326)
Display Field: Value
Type: Raster Layer
Geometry Type: null
Description: Regional wind field rasters are produced using the Tropical Cyclone Risk Model which applies a parametric wind field model (Powell et al., 2005) to each synthetic event to map the wind swath around each modelled track. This wind field model describes the intensity of the cyclone winds at ground level, incorporating the effects of the forward motion of the TC (Kepert, 2001).Wind speeds given in m/sFurther information on wind fields for all scenarios including references, is available in the Severe Wind Hazard Assessment – Queensland project report
