Extreme wind speeds, which are typically induced by tropical cyclones (TCs) in coastal regions of Australia, an important hazard to consider the context climate change.Here, a range datasets based on direct observations, reanalyses and regional model simulations used examine trends TC-related extreme winds over Eastern Australia.Wind gust speed estimates from best-track data automatic weather station (AWS) observations calibrate reanalysis gusts Bureau Meteorology (BoM) Atmospheric high-resolution Regional Reanalysis for Australia (BARRA) global ERA5 reanalysis.Together, these different provide complementary lines evidence relation historical changes speeds.
