8 Thotagamuwage and Pattiaratchi (2014) Infra-gravity waves ~10 events per month; energy 50% of time s

10 Sea Level Fluctuations: Fremantle Sea Level (t) = Tide(t) + Surge(t) + Mean Sea Level(t) Range = 2.22m Highest WL +2.12m CD Daily Range m Lowest WL 0.1m CD
11 Coastal flooding/inundation Flooding around the Swan River typically commences at ~ 1.6m CD Flooding of the Kwinana Freeway and major roads ~1.8 m CD.
12 Sea level components Observed Tide = Mean Sea Level + Astronomical Tide + Surge
13 Processes contributing to water level variability at Fremantle Inter-Annual Tides Continental shelf seiches:~0.2m Tsunamis (seismic & meteo) Storm fronts Diurnal: ~0.5 m Small range Nodal tides important Annual Weather Band Seiches Weather Band: ~0.6 m Storm surges Continental shelf waves Annual & Inter-annual:~0.2m Leeuwin Current ENSO (El Nino/La Nina) Mean sea level :~0.15m /century Global warning
