Oceanic Conditions within Extreme Tropical Cyclones

澳大利亚的热带和亚热带地区包括主要的基础设施项目，如西北大陆架石油和天然气项目，主要的采矿作业，出口港口，大堡礁等自然环境和主要的旅游业。所有这些行业都受到极端热带气旋的严重影响。尽管这些系统的重要性，我们目前对热带气旋的了解是不完整的。该项目将大大提高我们对关键海上基础设施进行精确工程设计的能力，以及在这种环境下进行海洋预报的能力。因此，该项目将为澳大利亚带来重大的科学、经济和社会效益。

Australia's tropical and subtropical areas include major infrastructure projects such as the North West shelf oil and gas projects, major mining operations, export ports, natural environments such as the Great Barrier Reef and major tourism industries. All these industries are crucially impacted by extreme tropical cyclones. Despite the importance of these systems, our present understanding of tropical cyclones is incomplete. This project will significantly enhance our ability to carry out accurate engineering design of critical offshore infrastructure, as well as marine forecasts in such environments. As such, the project will have major scientific, economic and social benefits for Australia.
