Current and future storm tide risk study for Samoa. These risks are quantified by estimating 20, 50 and 100 year maximum storm tide height return intervals under a variety of climate conditions and sea levels using a combined statistical/dynamical method. This data collection comprises around 50 GB >10000 files Tropical Cyclone Tracks, Storm tide model runs, other input information, derived statistical gridded data. Access to this data is restricted and relies on scripts.
Lineage: Historic and synthetic tropical cyclone tracks and associated wind, sea level pressure and water level fields. Statistical analysis.

This data collection is a product is funded and supported by the Australian Government through the Pacific Australian Climate Change Science and Adaptation Planning Programme (PACCSAP). PACCSAP was funded by Department of Foreign Affair & Trade, managed by the Department of the Environment and the science was delivered by the partnership between CSIRO and the Bureau of Meteorology. This output was produced as part of PACCSAP Project 1.4.4: Effect of climate variability and climate change on extreme sea level and coastal impacts.
