ES23015Occurrence and trends of historical tropical cyclone rainfall on near-coastal regions of Australia
The impacts of tropical cyclone rainfall on the northern coastlines of Australia can be severe. Trends for widespread and localised cyclone rainfall are examined in this paper in three historical datasets using innovative methods. There was a general disagreement in trends and average recurrence interval for the different measures of cyclone rainfall between datasets. By contrast, an increase in the fractional contribution of cyclone rainfall was more consistent between datasets, particularly over the north-western coastal region of Australia.
