Jeff Kepert, Stefan Zieger, Saima Aijaz, Diana Greenslade, Aaron Wassing Experience has shown that the observational record of tropical cyclones is too short to directly estimate long return-period risk for offshore or coastal areas. Accordingly, such risk is usually estimated...

Greg Williams1 1RPS MetOcean, For over 40 years, RPS have conducted metocean measurement programmes on the North West Shelf of Australia and established a suite of state-of-the-art tools and proven wind, wave, and current model configurations for setting design and...

Darren Burrowes1 1Bluezone Group, , Methods for measuring waves and winds from a Wave Glider Autonomous Surface Vehicle (ASV) are described and evaluated. The wave method utilises the frequency spectra of orbital velocities measured by GPS, and the wind stress...

Giovanna Lorenzin1 1Australian Maritime Safety Authority, , AMSA commonly uses a variety of predictive modelling and mapping tools to support emergency response operations during a maritime event. These are essential to ensure resources are effectively utilised and specifically target areas...
