This project aims to improve our understanding of the severe ocean storms that impact Australia. The novel approach will make use of multiple decades of the background 'noise', recorded continuously by earthquake seismic observatories, to locate and analyse ocean storms through time and identify changes in storm tracks. An interdisciplinary interpretation will follow which combines the large body of new results from seismology with data from oceanography and meteorology. Significant advancement in our knowledge of severe storms will benefit Australia by indicating whether such storms are becoming more severe or, alternatively, if storm patterns are shifting.

该项目旨在提高我们对影响澳大利亚的严重海洋风暴的了解。这种新方法将利用地震观测站连续记录的数十年的背景“噪音”，通过时间来定位和分析海洋风暴，并确定风暴轨迹的变化。随后将进行跨学科的解释，将地震学的大量新成果与海洋学和气象学的数据相结合。我们对强风暴的了解的重大进展将使澳大利亚受益，表明这种风暴是否正在变得更加严重，或者风暴模式是否正在改变。
