Australian local wind multiplier data

Created 17/10/2025

Updated 17/10/2025

Using the new release of the local wind multipliers software (V.3.1) (eCat 145699) and an appropriate source of classified terrain data, local wind multipliers on a national scale for the whole continent of Australia at (approximately) 25-metre resolution were calculated. This product is a necessary component for calculating local wind speeds from scenarios and guiding impact assessment of severe wind hazards for both federal and state-wide Emergency Services in Australia.
