Influence of the El Nino-Southern Oscillation on NSW coastal storm severity.(New South Wales)(Report)

Journal of Coastal Research | March 1, 2008| | Copyright

ABSTRACT

The influence of the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on NSW coastal storm severity was investigated by comparing the yearly mean Southern Oscillation Index, SOI, with the yearly averaged storm severity 12 measured at the NSW coast. It was found that [OMEGA] correlates well with SOI, i.e., 12 generally increases with SOL The probability distributions of storm peak wave height and yearly mean SOI were also studied and were found to follow a Gumbel distribution. A simple linear relationship between extreme wave height and yearly mean SOI was then derived. ...
