TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided the first estimates of present day extreme water level exceedance probabilities around the whole coastline of Australia, and combined the influence of astronomical tides, storm surges generated by both extra-tropical and tropical cyclones, and seasonal and inter-annual variations in mean sea level.

TL;DR: In this article, a high-resolution depth averaged hydrodynamic model has been configured for the Australian continental shelf region and has been forced with tidal levels from a global tidal model and meteorological fields from global reanalysis to generate a 61-year hindcast of water levels.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used an axisymmetric, dry, non-hydrostatic numerical sub-cloud model to model the wind field of an intense idealised downburst wind storm and found that the simulated wind events had significantly less energy available for loading isolated structures when compared with atmospheric boundary layer winds.

TL;DR: In this article, a pulsed wall jet was used to simulate the gust front of a thunderstorm downburst and the characteristics of the hypothesized ring vortex of a full-scale downburst were reproduced at a scale estimated to be 1:3000.
