Abstract
Numerical modelling of storm tide within Moreton Bay has consistently underestimated peak tide gauge level observations by up to 40 percent during extreme events. This study tests "missing" contribution hypotheses by undertaking a series of integrated hydrodynamic and spectral wave modelling experiments, supported by high quality gridded wind, observed water level and wave data at sites throughout Moreton Bay and the Southeast Queensland coast. The case studies are the regional surge responses during the passages of Ex. Tropical Cyclone Oswald, Ex. Tropical Cyclone Debbie and Tropical Cyclone Oma. Testing of these hypotheses will contribute to an improved understanding of the key processes required to model storm surge accurately in other similar coastal embayments.
