A modelling system comprising a regional climate model nested within a GCM is used to simulate the observed interannual variability of tropical cyclone formation off the east coast of Australia. The model's interannual variability of cyclone formation is weaker than that observed, with shortcomings in the model's simulation of vertical wind shear the likely cause.
