Dataset Objective

To provide the value of a wind intensity measure expected to be exceeded at least once in a 500 year time at any given location in Papua New Guinea.

Context

What is included

The dataset contains the values of cyclone wind hazard and intensity measures and latitude and longitude coordinates of any pin-pointed location in Papua New Guinea.

Collection Methods

The dataset was collected by determining the simulated intensities at every gridded location for 10,000 realizations of next-year activity of tropical cyclone events. The intensities were then ranked for each site at each grid.
