    28 As part of the CRA, it was decided to provide results for the
    29 extremes of the tidal regimes to understand the potential range of impacts
    30 from the event. Onslow is termed a Standard Port
    31 by the Australian Hydrographic Service, with tidal
    32 predictions based on continuous observation of the tide
    33 over a period of at least one year, however it is advised that these
    34 observations extend to three years to note changes in the mean
    35 sea level. The Australian National Tide Tables 2006 \cite{antt:06}
    36 describes how
    37 these predictions are rounded to two decimal places, then
    38 further rounded to a single decimal place.
    39 Figure \ref{fig:ic} shows the contour lines for
    40 the values for
    41 Highest Astronomical Tide (HAT; 1.5m AHD), Mean Sea Level (MSL; 0m AHD)
    42 and Lowest Astronomical Tide (LAT; -1.5m AHD) for Onslow, \cite{antt:06}.
    43 It is evident from this figure that significant areas of Onslow are
    44 inundated before the simulation is even begun indicating
    45 shortcomings with the underlying data set. Therefore, we use only
    46 one initial condition for this scenario; 0m AHD. Further
    47 discussion surrounding the data and its sources is described in
    48 Sections \ref{sec:data} and \ref{sec:metadata}.
    49 %It is important to note that there is no Bureau of Metereoolgy
    50 %tide gauge in Onslow,
    51 As an aside, a current GA contract is
    52 extracting information from LANDSAT imagery to reconstruct the
    53 tidal variations for various WA locations. Future modelling of
    54 these areas will incorporate this information.
    55 Further, the dynamics of
     29The initial condition used for this scenario is 0m Australian Height Datum
     30which is approximately equal to Mean Sea Level.
     31The dynamics of
    5632tidal effects (that is, the changes in water height over time for
    5733the entire study area) is not currently modelled.
    58 %In the simulations provided in this report, we assume that
    59 %increase of water height for the initial condition is spatially consistent
    60 %for the study region.
    6134Bottom friction will generally provide resistance to the water flow
    6235and thus reduce the impact somewhat. However, it is an open area
    6336of research on how to determine the friction coefficients, and
    6437thus it has not been incorporated
    65 in the scenarios presented in this report. Therefore, the
     38in the scenario presented in this report. Therefore, the
    6639results presented are over estimated to some degree.
