Any comments? Yes, like the LP, the storm is very small and the base does look like it has good rotation. Some differences are a rain shaft to the rear in your pic, if indeed that is the storm rear. Is it? Which way, relative to the pic, is the storm moving? In the LPs what little precip there is, falls from the anvil ahead of the updraft location. Most often the rain is light but the hail can be large. Also, the vertical sides and front of the CB are striated and look like a helix or the "barber pole" as you mentioned. BTW, that is one thing we have a general lack of, views from the rear of the storm where the RFD is located with most supercells. LPs most often have little or no apparent downdraft.

Clyve Herbert. wrote: > There is often a rather vague line when observing an overshooting severe > multicell complex and a supercell and then making a comparison, a single > photo of an overshooting multi cell often looks like a supercell,however This is an excellent observation. Most supercells begin as organized multicell cluster storms, often with a flanking line. If the environmental shear is sufficent, they will then with time undergo a transformation into a supercell. (Sufficent shear is usually seen as greater than about 15 m/s in the lowest 6 km. This shear can be created by either directional or speed shear or a combination therof. This is true, even if the flow is unidirectional with height. But flow that is unidirectional is conducive to splitting storms with right and left movers being almost mirror image supercells.) > from personal study I have found a rather odd structure to true supercells > and that's the very short and strong pulse rate within the supercell often > appearing as a continuos updraft but careful analysis seems to show distinct > rapid pulses. Again, a good observation. Our perception of storms is based on what we use to observe them. The human eye can often discern much more than the radar. (This is why I blieve adequate training can not afford to emphasize only a single observation tool. The visual appearence must be emphasized as well and the relationship among the various sensor viewpoints.) Not uncommonly the supercell does have multicell traits. They may appear more single cellular in a low level radar scan but the multiple reflectivity cores and multiple echo tops can be detected aloft with the radar. When the time between flanking cell mergers with the updraft is short and radar volume scans are several minutes apart then on radar, often only an apparent single cell is descerned. But, ocasionally even with the eye there will be no flaking line seen yet the unsteadyness of the updraft can be detected only at storm summit with the "updraft pulses". Here you seem to emphasisze "rapid pulses". These pulses are often several minutes or even 10 + minutes apart but occasionally they may be only 1 to 3 minutes apart. > I watched a very interesting video taken by a fellow storm > chaser from Brisbane of a night storm southeast of that city,this storm was > regarded as a supercell ,the lightning was almost strobe like and > illuminating the overshoot almost continuously, the top of the overshoot > showed a very close ribbing affect which may have indicated the very short > pulse rate of the updraft,also of interest was the rather uniform spacing of > the ribbing separating each pulse. I believe the unsteady nature or "updarft udulation" if you will, may create gravity waves within the storm summit outflow. At other times these may actually be cycles of updraft strengthening and weakening. When that is occuring, the severe weather at the suface may often then be more eposodic in nature and hail size will fluctuate accordingly. (BTW, a point I failed to make otherwise was that if hail greater than "golf ball" (~ 4.4 cm) in diameter is observed, with a particular storm, then that storm is almost certainly supercellular. It seems that the organization that accompanies the supercellular structure is essential to hail growth greater than golf ball, e.g., 5 cm or larger.) Les ************************ Leslie R.

I live at an area called Buckendoon which is about 20k south of Lismore on the flood plain, half way between Woodburn and Coraki. To get back to the weather, currently heavy rain, wind east about 15knts. Rainfall since 0800 on 31/1 96mm to o830 1/2. Was at the Casino storm, working with SES, covering roofs etc.we were called out 2100hrs on the Wednesday night, first job was to cover a tile roof partly damaged by two gum trees broken off approx 6 and 8 feet up (wind now gusting to 25Knts as I type make that 30knt).Then to the large two story block of flats totally de-roofedwe decided it was two unsafe to attempt any repairs at 1200hrs, particulaly as there was still heavy rain and no power so lighting the job was difficult, we were stood down at 0200 to return at 0800 the next day. The next two days had more of the same patching multiple broken windows,tile roofs, removing dangerous fallen trees etc.Saw one tree near the main street, a mature silky oak with a trunk diameter of about 1 metre broken off about 2metres off the ground, with the body of the tree abit 50 metres away on an adjacent empty block. It all looked like straight line damage to me, as there was multiple roof damage, some totally de roofed but adjacent trees only minus a few small limbs,if any. I also have a couple of photos of the hail from the storm that went through Parramatta last Nov. If any one is interested,They show a build up of hail on houses and yards, and the associated fog rising in the cold air as it melted while we were driving on the ?hume highway leaving Parramatta for Campbeltown.

Tasmania had a average increase in temp of 1C for January with drier than normal from NW coast west around to SE coast. In Strahan we have had a very pleasant summer ( not good for severe weather watchers but great place to live if you are a weather watcher!) our last major weather event was around Christmas day. Rainfall has been enough to keep the lawn green but I know Zeehan just north of us is well below normal. Temperatures inland have been warmer than normal and this has produced a lot of sea breezes which gives us on the coast a very pleasant temperature range. I know this is terribly boring but I am going to miss this summer when it is over. Chas Strahan Tasmania ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ---------------------~-~> eGroups is now Yahoo!

The formation of charge in thunderstorms relies on water existing in at least two visible forms, liquid and solid (actually I suppose graupel could be called semi-solid...) Charge separation from collisions within the storm cloud results in the static build-up that eventually is released as a lightning bolt. Problems at the poles: Convection is hard to initiate as the surface tends to be considerably colder than the air above it resulting in very strong inversions (i.e. it's hard to get the air to rise); and the air temperature at heights at which clouds would form are usually below zero which prevents liquid droplets from condensing. These are purely my thoughts - I'll pass the query on to the aussie-weather list for some more knowledgeable opinions...

I am not an authority on this question but I will attempt to apply what I do know to answer the question. But I could be wrong. For lightning to occur we must have an unstable (to slant wise or vertical motion) stratification, sufficiently strong drafts to separate charges, ~ 45 dBZ, and mixed phase of supercooled liquid water, snow, and ice/grapul. Rarely if ever would the atmosphere be sufficiently unstable, therefor drafts would be too weak, nor would sufficiently high reflectivities be present. On the question of mixed phase, I am not certain I would eliminate that condition. It is conceivable that one condition could be met. Les ************************ Leslie R.

I was around Sunnybank at the time...some roads were partially under water due to blocked drains and I frequently had to shift into 2nd gear for extended periods of time to go through some roads there was just that much water on them! I think a lot of drains were blocked (they often are if we don't get widespread heavy rain for a while), and that worsened the situation. There were strong winds, saw one small tree down and a few branches down about the place. I phoned the BoM with the report at about 1:25pm - and they issued a severe weather warning (attached below). Our kitchen got flooded - water came pouring through the skylight - gust of 76km/h at my place. 29.8mm to 9am here, 9am to 3pm rainfall was 66mm.

Currently the creek is in moderate -major flood. I have taken some photos. Rainfall 9am-3pm 64mm. Most of this falling within the last 2hrs. I hope there is more rain before it gets dark - I wish that March fall in 1999 was during the day

This is not bad for Schofields. But it is interesting to note that after the 45.6mm, the sort of runoff I saw in areas where I work and on the way - only say 5km as the crow flies (if it had wings), I noticed the runoff and creeks flowing indicated significantly more rain had fallen there and it seemed to coincide with the 161mm at Prospect Dam, perhaps a corridor of heavy rainfall. Now our 48 hour total does not even match that figure so a significant amount has fallen in that region and SW suburbs. ----------------------------------------- Jimmy Deguara Storm Chaser and Mathematics Teacher from Schofields, Sydney NSW Australia e-mail:jdeguara at ihug.com.au Web Page with Michael Bath Australian Severe Weather Home Page http://www.australiasevereweather.com President of the Australian Severe Weather Association http://www.severeweather.asn.au ------------------------ Yahoo!

When leaving Caloundra it was raining very heavily with lightning and thunder. However a short distance out of Caloundra the skies brightened up to show blue skies to the west. It wasn't until I reached the Gateway Bridge did it start raining again (around 3pm) and it is obvious that it had been raining heavily. Still raining in Cleveland now (49 mm from 9am to 3.30pm). I was particularly interested in the radar picture which tells the story - A very broad arc of rain extending from the Sunshine Coast, out to Moreton Bay and then back onto the coast in the Wynnum area. Its tempting to think that the rain is about to move off the coast and small low pressure will form east of Moreton Island, but the forecasts would seem to disagree as the upper system is moving north - north west ?

Hi All

Today in my year 11 Physics class the question of "Why the sky is blue" came up. It has been set as someting to find out about, using any method that we choose.

I was wondering whether or not anyone out there knows anything about this. I think the sky being a blue colour has got something to do with the light from the sun being slow down to appear as a blue colour.

Anyway any help with the Question "Why is the sky blue?" would be very helpful.

Thanks

Hi Luke,
 
I actually saw a video about space exploration the other day who's title escapes me at the moment, but in it, they explained why things are different colours.
 
Basically, from what I gathered from the video, the sky is blue for a number of reasons.  The chemical make up of the atmosphere, the varying density of the atmosphere (ever noticed how some days the sky seems more blue, possibly because of high and low pressure systems, I don't know).
 
Just like the grass is green because it absorbs all the colours of the light spectrum except for green, the atmosphere absorbs all wavelengths of light except blue.
 
If anyone else can make better sense of it than that, please do, it's been 11 years since I did physics, the cobwebs are a bit thicker now.
 
Hope this helps a little Luke.
 
Chris

Hi Luke,
 
yes you are correct about the refraction of light.  I just had a look for a book that Ihad the information in, but unfortunately it is still packed away.  I searched the NASA web site and came up with the following url for you to have alook at.
 
This explains both the colour of the sky during the day and at sunset.  The same principle applies to both.  It is simple colour theory.
 
Hope this helps.

Subject: BERRIMAH STALL LINE - DARWIN STORM CHASERS PLEASE TAKE NOTE

Ever since I arrived in Darwin I've been facinated why five out of six, usually organised storms stall in the Palmerston / Berrimah /
Francis Bay area.  I've nicknamed it the 'Berrimah Stall Line'.  I can give you some information, but it even confuses the Weather Bureau and makes severe storm warnings a nightmare.  If I can get lastnight's storm on disk I will try to put it up on this site, if I
can't I have it on video as I usually drop the computer video output into my video recorder so I can combine it with INFO TV on Ch64
which has continuous weather broadcasts  during cyclone events anywhere from the Gulf area to Perth.
 
Yesterday, 31 January 2001 a very large organised storm front was approaching from the SE by late afternoon and was becoming well organised.  It was about 250 x 500 kilometres in size and took about 6 hours to pass over most localities, including (sic) over
Darwin.  Rainfall varied from 2 mm at the Darwin Airport, 5 at Palmerston and 12 at Karama.  In the rural area it varied from 2 mm
at Humpty Doo to 7 at Howard Springs, 17 at Darwin River Dam, 18 at McMinns Lagoon, 30 at Lambells Lagoon, 43 at Adelaide River Post Office, 47 at Batchelor, 60 at Jabiru and 79 at the Jabiru Airport.  From 5 or 6 pm the cell was travelling from the SE
and you could bet your shirt on it that it would piss down over Darwin for 5 or 6 hours.
 
Around  8.30 pm it struck seabreeze turbulance which disorganised the storm.  The storm front began to disappear  quickly, but
again reformed into a nice long well developed storm line of yellow on the radar followed by tons of heavy rain but within 20 minutes
it stood stationary and didn't advance an inch for the next three hours leaving a cloudless gap in the cloud over Francis Bay, the city and the northern suburbs as well as over the inlet south of Francis Bay.  This gap remained there for the rest of the night,
while the storm magically reappeared to the north of Darwin spreading in every direction except Darwin.  The whole storm system continued on it's path as before while the main storm cloud continued south of Darwin until about 4 am.
 
Not only did the clouds not advance north of the Francis Bay / Palmerston area, but the clouds continued to evaporate to the south and southeast where it came from.  Very early in the morning, cloud came in from the NE over land, but as soon as it struck the
Darwin metropolitan area the cloud zized and zagged continually along the coastline to totally avoid Darwin.   Right in the very last stages of this very long period of time the tiniest slithers of cloud passed over some of Darwin barely wetting the ground.
 
When you consider there was no seabreeze in Darwin as it was calm at the time , and the storm produced a gusty outflow that brought down branches here at Fannie Bay, you could excuse the seabreeze from preventing the storms approach.  Maybe it was the sea temperature the bureau told me was around 30 or 31 degrees.  Maybe it's the heat from the cleared and developed area of land, but how does this explain how the previous three year we had record rainfalls.  This year Darwin has experienced only 351 mm compared to an average of 892mm.  Gove has had around 1200mm and most of the areas south of the top end including the Queensland / Northern Territory has been in flood with falls in the top 10 or 20 percent decile.
 
These sort of conditions sends Darwin people bonkers.  The only good thing about it is you can sit at the wharf sucking on a beer while watching decent rain and lightning storms pass on the skyline south of Darwin, passing over Palmerston and the rural areas.
The Darwin Storm Cam located on the top of Moonta House building in Mitchell Street provides the same view with some elevation and shows the wharf I view from.  The Darwin wharf Precinct is possibly the best viewing and photography location as it has 360 degree views undercover including the city skyline and the Berrimah stall line.  It also has fine eateries, toilets, parking, phones and excellent Batphone (mobile) coverage and is a great place to meet people.  Parking is a bit difficult after 7pm especially on weekends and can be accessed from Bennet Street in the city by minibus if you wish.
 
Contact us at NT ASWA as we should have our own page up  by the time this is published.  I'm going to a little extra effort to provide details of the location to help interstate or overseas visitors.
 
Catch you all next time
 
Regards Charlie Fitzgerald

If you apply this principle, why give Sydney the benefit of radar-based storm warnings? Shouldn't it wait until the rest of NSW can enjoy the same life-saving advantages? Or should we wait until just the populated eastern half of NSW gets radar? Or all Australia? Or the Pacific Basin? These are lines in the sand. Applying the principle elsewhere, would vessels close to a ship in distress fail to give assistance because other areas may not have the same density of shipping, and to provide assistance in this case would present problems of regional consistency? The NSW Railways used to fence all their lines to prevent stock, children and grandmothers wandering in front of trains. Economically, this is no longer possible. Should they, therefore, not fence any lines, including those in towns, or beside busy roads? After all, to do so would be regionally inconsistent. If the general principle is that you don't provide a service in an area where you can because there are some areas where you can't, nothing would ever get done. It is a very convenient, bureaucratic cop-out, and has been used by politicians since ancient Greece (and probably before) to argue their way out of doing something that common sense says should be done. It is a fallacious argument, because it assumes that consistency is good in its own right. Consistency is only good if it achieves some benefit. In this case, it places regional centres with radar coverage equal to capital cities at a disadvantage to the capital cities. Which is inconsistent. Are we seriously suggesting that, if Bureau forecasters observe on Grafton radar a supercell of historic proportions bearing down on the city, they should not issue a specific warning but rely on a general advice issued hours before, even though a specific warning could save lives? I do find the argument for regional consistency strangely inconsistent with the Bureau's general policy of maintaining inconsistency through its regional offices. Hence we have a brilliant web-based flood-warning system in place in Qld, but not the glimmer of a similar effort in other states. We have half-hourly reports from most AWS's in Victoria (which have mostly been placed in new locations), but only hourly ones from most in NSW (which mostly duplicate, and replace, previous manual stations). We have four times the number of daily reporting rain gauges in eastern Sydney than western Sydney, where more than half the population lives. The Bureau has a legislative responsibility to use whatever tools it has at its disposal to issue warnings of life or property threatening weather. It should do so. ------------------------ Yahoo!

Well, the wet and windy conditions are continuing here on the Gold Coast, with strong and gusty winds that appeared to be SE to E earlier in the day seem to have swung around to be more NE during the late afternoon, making us more exposed here in a NW aspect elevated position. During the evening squalls have reached gale force at times, with conditions appearing to be akin to a Cat 1 cyclone at times the way the trees were being belted around by the wind and stripping some leaves and twigs from trees (we have a good garden floodlight). The wind has dropped a little in the last few hours, but still reaching gale force in squalls, and we have had a few lighter rain breaks in the generally moderate to heavy rain.

Crosby. >snip Subject: aus-wx: Heavy Rain in SE Qld. Hi All. Heavy rain continued overnight here on the Gold Coast, becoming very heavy around dawn (sufficiently so to wake me up because of the noise on the roof), and has eased a little today to periodic heavy rain interspersed with drizzle. The winds have picked up (probably SE but a bit hard to tell here because of a low ridge immediately S to E of the house), and there are thunderstorms in the region judging by the static on the AM radio. Heard the BoM on the radio a while ago - they expect it to continue until tomorrow and there was 141mm at Coolangatta overnight, and I would say we close to that here out the back of Burleigh Heads. A Severe Weather Warning has been issued by the BoM for SE Qld (pasted below).

Anyway, I have just got home from being stuck for two nights just south of Tweed Heads. We were comming home from Sydney on Thursday, and decided to go all the way that day to avoid being stuck behind dozens of floods. We reached Muwillumbah around 7.30 pm and had had to go around and through water at various places. We were following a group of semi's and some cars along the pacific highway. We reached the bridge to Terranora over the tweed river, but once we were over we saw more deep water and decided to go back. We returned to a small town called Tumbulgum and stopped at the tavern there, where we could get the car up a little bit higher. We were then stuck there for two nights watching the waters go up and down, almost reaching the car. We finally heard thismorning that a road from Mooball, through to Chinderah and Tweed heads. We were also told that the road back to Murwillumbah, one of the lowest points
