        The Tropical Cyclone Risk Model

===============================

The **Tropical Cyclone Risk Model** is a stochastic tropical cyclone

model developed by `Geoscience Australia `_ for estimating the wind hazard from tropical cyclones.

Due to the relatively short record of quality-controlled, consistent

tropical cyclone observations, it is difficult to estimate average

recurrence interval wind speeds ue to tropical cyclones. To overcome

the restriction of observed data, TCRM uses an autoregressive model to

generate thousands of years of events that are statistically similar

to the historical record. To translate these events to estimated wind

speeds, TCRM applies a parametric windfield and boundary layer model

to each event. Finally an extreme value distribution is fitted to the

aggregated windfields at each grid point in the model domain to

provide ARI wind speed estimates.

Features

========

* **Multi-platform**: TCRM can run on desktop machines through to massively-parallel systems (tested on Windows XP/Vista/7, \*NIX);

* **Multiple options for wind field & boundary layer models**: A number of radial profiles and simple boundary layer models have been included to allow users to test sensitivity to these options.

* **Globally applicable**: Users can set up a domain in any TC basin in the globe. The model is not tuned to any one region of the globe. Rather, the model is designed to draw sufficient information from best-track archives;

* **Evaluation metrics**: Offers capability to run objective evaluation of track model metrics (e.g. landfall rates);

* **Single scenarios**: Users can run a single TC event (e.g. using a b-deck format track file) at high temporal resolution and extract time series data at chosen locations;
