  • Known Impacts of Tropical Cyclones, East Coast, 1858 – 2008 by Mr Jeff Callaghan Retired Senior Severe Weather Forecaster, Bureau of Meteorology, Brisbane
    ARCHIVE: Known Impacts of Tropical Cyclones, East Coast, 1858 – 2008 By Mr Jeff Callaghan Retired Senior Severe Weather Forecaster, Bureau of Meteorology, Brisbane The date of the cyclone refers to the day of landfall or the day of the major impact if it is not a cyclone making landfall from the Coral Sea. The first number after the date is the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) for that month followed by the three month running mean of the SOI centred on that month. This is followed by information on the equatorial eastern Pacific sea surface temperatures where: W means a warm episode i.e. sea surface temperature (SST) was above normal; C means a cool episode and Av means average SST Date Impact January 1858 From the Sydney Morning Herald 26/2/1866: an article featuring a cruise inside the Barrier Reef describes an expedition’s stay at Green Island near Cairns. “The wind throughout our stay was principally from the south-east, but in January we had two or three hard blows from the N to NW with rain; one gale uprooted some of the trees and wrung the heads off others. The sea also rose one night very high, nearly covering the island, leaving but a small spot of about twenty feet square free of water.” Middle to late Feb A tropical cyclone (TC) brought damaging winds and seas to region between Rockhampton and 1863 Hervey Bay. Houses unroofed in several centres with many trees blown down. Ketch driven onto rocks near Rockhampton. Severe erosion along shores of Hervey Bay with 10 metres lost to sea along a 32 km stretch of the coast.

  • The Bathurst Bay Hurricane: Media, Memory and Disaster
    The Bathurst Bay Hurricane: Media, Memory and Disaster Ian Bruce Townsend Bachelor of Arts (Communications) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2019 School of Historical and Philosophical Inquiry Abstract In 1899, one of the most powerful cyclones recorded struck the eastern coast of Cape York, Queensland, resulting in 298 known deaths, most of whom were foreign workers of the Thursday Island pearling fleets. Today, Australia’s deadliest cyclone is barely remembered nationally, although there is increasing interest internationally in the cyclone’s world record storm surge by scientists studying past cyclones to assess the risks of future disasters, particularly from a changing climate. The 1899 pearling fleet disaster, attributed by Queensland Government meteorologist Clement Wragge to a cyclone he named Mahina, has not until now been the subject of scholarly historical inquiry. This thesis examines the evidence, as well as the factors that influenced how the cyclone and its disaster have been remembered, reported, and studied. Personal and public archives were searched for references to, and evidence for, the event. A methodology was developed to test the credibility of documents and the evidence they contained, including the data of interest to science. Theories of narrative and memory were applied to those documents to show how and why evidence changed over time. Finally, the best evidence was used to reconstruct aspects of the event, including the fate of several communities, the cyclone’s track, and the elements that contributed to the internationally significant storm tide. The thesis concludes that powerful cultural narratives were responsible for the nation forgetting a disaster in which 96 percent of the victims were considered not to be citizens of the anticipated White Australia.

  • Tropical Cyclone Justin 6 - 24 March 1997
    Severe Tropical Cyclone Justin 6 - 24 March 1997 Queensland Tropical Cyclone Warning Centre Bureau of Meteorology A. Summary Severe Tropical Cyclone Justin was a large, long-lived Coral Sea cyclone that crossed the Queensland coast as a category two cyclone northwest of Cairns on 22 March. Two lows that merged in a very active monsoon trough in the Coral Sea developed into Tropical Cyclone Justin on 7 March, reaching maximum intensity on 9 March as a very large system. Justin remained almost stationary and due to cooling SST’s it was downgraded to a tropical low on 13 March. Justin then drifted north over warmer SST’s and re-intensified to tropical cyclone strength on 14 March, reaching a peak intensity on 17 March before weakening and crossing the coast northwest of Cairns on 22 March. The combined effects of heavy rain, large seas and gale to storm force winds caused widespread damage in the region between Cairns and Townsville and the loss of two lives. Earlier in Justin’s lifecycle 30 people were killed in Papua New Guinea and five people died when their yacht was destroyed. Justin was reportedly responsible for an estimated loss of $150 million to the agricultural industry alone. B. Meteorological Description Intensity Analysis The monsoon trough was characterised at 2300 UTC 3 March by a series of MSL low pressure centres below 1000 hPa extending from northeast Australia across the Coral Sea and by 2300 UTC 5 March one centre had developed in the Coral Sea. This low intensified and was named Justin at 1900 UTC 6 March.

  • Polarimetric Radar Observations of the Persistently Asymmetric Structure of Tropical Cyclone Ingrid
    616 MONTHLY WEATHER REVIEW VOLUME 136 Polarimetric Radar Observations of the Persistently Asymmetric Structure of Tropical Cyclone Ingrid PETER T. MAY,J.D.KEPERT, AND T. D. KEENAN Bureau of Meteorology Research Centre, Melbourne, Australia (Manuscript received 3 November 2006, in final form 3 May 2007) ABSTRACT Tropical Cyclone Ingrid had a distinctly asymmetric reflectivity structure with an offshore maximum as it passed parallel to and over an extended coastline near a polarimetric weather radar located near Darwin, northern Australia. For the first time in a tropical cyclone, polarimetric weather radar microphysical analyses are used to identify extensive graupel and rain–hail mixtures in the eyewall. The overall micro- physical structure was similar to that seen in some other asymmetric storms that have been sampled by research aircraft. Both environmental shear and the land–sea interface contributed significantly to the asymmetry, but their relative contributions were not determined. The storm also underwent very rapid changes in tangential wind speed as it moved over a narrow region of open ocean between a peninsula and the Tiwi Islands. The time scale for changes of 10 m sϪ1 was of the order of 1 h. There were also two distinct types of rainbands observed—large-scale principal bands with embedded deep convection and small-scale bands located within 50 km of the eyewall with shallow convective cells. 1. Introduction larimetric radar (Keenan et al. 1998).

  • Developing Impact-Based Thresholds for Coastal Inundation from Tide Gauge Observations
    CSIRO PUBLISHING Journal of Southern Hemisphere Earth Systems Science, 2019, 69, 252–272 https://doi.org/10.1071/ES19024 Developing impact-based thresholds for coastal inundation from tide gauge observations Ben S. HagueA,B,C, Bradley F. MurphyA, David A. JonesA and Andy J. TaylorA ABureau of Meteorology, GPO Box 1289, Melbourne, Vic. 3001, Australia. BSchool of Earth, Atmosphere and Environment, Monash University, Clayton, Vic., Australia. CCorresponding author. Email: [email protected] Abstract. This study presents the first assessment of the observed frequency of the impacts of high sea levels at locations along Australia’s northern coastline. We used a new methodology to systematically define impact-based thresholds for coastal tide gauges, utilising reports of coastal inundation from diverse sources. This method permitted a holistic consideration of impact-producing relative sea-level extremes without attributing physical causes. Impact-based thresh- olds may also provide a basis for the development of meaningful coastal flood warnings, forecasts and monitoring in the future. These services will become increasingly important as sea-level rise continues.The frequency of high sea-level events leading to coastal flooding increased at all 21 locations where impact-based thresholds were defined. Although we did not undertake a formal attribution, this increase was consistent with the well-documented rise in global sea levels. Notably, tide gauges from the south coast of Queensland showed that frequent coastal inundation was already occurring. At Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast, impact-based thresholds were being exceeded on average 21.6 and 24.3 h per year respectively. In the case of Brisbane, the number of hours of inundation annually has increased fourfold since 1977.

  • Chapter 1: INTRODUCTION
    Chapter 1: INTRODUCTION Trevor Jones Geoscience Australia 1.1 Cities Project Perth Cities Project Perth is a natural hazard risk assessment study of the city of Perth by Geoscience Australia (GA) and its Federal, State and Local collaborators. Cities Project Perth has produced authoritative knowledge on the risks from sudden-onset natural hazards in Australia’s fourth largest city and the capital of the state of Western Australia (WA). Cities Project Perth is the most recent multi-hazard risk assessment undertaken by GA and collaborating agencies (notably the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) and local governments), following earlier studies of the Queensland cities of Cairns (Granger et al., 1999), Mackay (Middelmann and Granger, editors, 2000), Gladstone (Granger and Michael-Leiba, editors, 2001) and South-East Queensland (Granger and Hayne, editors, 2001). GA also published the single- hazard report Earthquake Risk in Newcastle and Lake Macquarie, New South Wales (Dhu and Jones, editors, 2002). This study is aimed at estimating the impact on the Perth community of several sudden-onset natural hazards. The natural hazards considered are both meteorological and terrestrial in origin. The hazards investigated most comprehensively are riverine floods in the Swan and Canning Rivers, severe winds in metropolitan Perth, and earthquakes in the Perth region. Some socioeconomic factors affecting the capacity of the citizens of Perth to recover from natural disaster events have been analysed and the WA data compared with data from other Australian states. Additionally, new estimates of earthquake hazard have been made in a zone of radius around 200 km from Perth, extending east into the central Wheatbelt.
