Are ocean storms impacting Australia becoming more severe?

这个项目旨在提高我们对影响澳大利亚的严重海洋风暴的理解。这种新方法将利用地震观测站连续记录的几十年的背景“噪音”来定位和分析海洋风暴，并确定风暴路径的变化。随后将进行跨学科的解释，将地震学的大量新结果与海洋学和气象学的数据结合起来。我们对强风暴知识的重大进步将使澳大利亚受益，这将表明这些风暴是否会变得更加严重，或者，如果风暴模式正在改变。

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.
