Howdy all.
If you are able , get Austar for Weather 21! It is an excellent service -
On Saturday the graphics of the deep spiral action of the Low that is SW of
Victoria was well defined, and the Jetstream feature is great. Not only
that but the Radar loop of the S.A. storms was amazing!!
Here at port it is "pissin" down with heavy squalls drfiting in off the
sea. Seems that Low is starting to make more of an impact here now (the one
in the Pacific Ocean). Only light falls received at Mitchells Island on the
weeknd - 3.8mm Saturday & 5.4mm yesterday. Great "pea-souper" this morning.
Seems those Lows of the East Coast are just letting us down
lately..........ohh well. Maybe soon!
Paul at a wet Port Macquarie.

Hi Peter,
Excuse my ignorance - where is Broadford?
Here at Mt. Crosby, 26km west of Brisbane and inconveniently located (from
a Weather perspective) behind the southern spur of the D'Aguilar Range, we
have also had welcome rain for this time of year. Totals to midnight each
day:
Friday: 12mm
Saturday: 12.5mm
Sunday: 1mm
John.

We, as a species unique to this Earth (so it seems) also are
the only species (so it seems) that is capable of caring for
the well-being of other species. This is not a symbiotic
relationship, but one which has developed to a myriad of species
including those that we just enjoy to watch...We also are capable
of both predicting and effecting our future and that of other
species. That responsibility carries with it a price that we
cannot yet qualify, let only quantify. Our economic models are
not capable of putting a quantitative economic value on the
preservation of a natural area verses its exploitation. The
destruction of rainforest habitat in the Amazon at some 100+
hectares per day has not been factored into the Earth's budget
that states the preservation or expansion of such a region for
a greater cause.
What I am pointing out is that despite many advances in the
science of this all, we are a still merely a baby. Environmental
economically speaking, we are a just mid-term foetus. We run
the risk of being too arrogant by and seeing the wood for the
trees. That is not a strong position from which to draw
conclusions that agree with or contest the view of "socialist"
scientists. We need to assess all evidence.

Every person is entitled to express their view, particularly if
it comes with authority. As for the scientific rigour of those
engaged in climatology, I would say that because there are fence
sitters is merely a testimony to the immaturity of environmental
science. QED. By the time we have a consistent view, it might be
far too late to effect great change. Consider, hypothetically,
that it was decided to build large-scale solar power plants
cabable of delivering base-load-type power levels. Doing this
might require the expenditure of a future fossil-fuel budget.
What if this expenditure was enough to escalate Earth's
green-house gas problem to an uncontrollable level? What I am
saying is that there is now time and resources available that
allow us to change our bad habits. Leave that decision longer
might well make feasible alternatives impossible to achieve
without some as-yet-to-be-discovered enabling technology.
As for laboratory proofs, that's a holy grail. There is no
laboratory model that precisely models the Earth. Some processes,
maybe, but all together? Probably never.

No matter how scared people seem to be, it hasn't changed
their underlying habits greatly (yet). How many people
seriously pursue passive solar design in new homes when it
increases a project's cost? While the western world may have
agreed on greenhouse gas reductions, has any action happened
yet? Has the 3rd world been given enough resources to avoid
going down the western world's energy consumption path? etc.
Despite some inevitable data misinterpretation, some facts
cannot be contested such as average temperature rise, glacial
retreat, sea-level rise, dead coral etc. How many more facts
are needed before we get our marine-emu heads out of that now
dead coral? It's like my kids arguing about the bath overflowing.
Sure, if they or I didn't turn the tap off, the bath would
probably overflow. But we could also spend our time arguing
about the rate of water rise and never realise the dire
consequences of this.

I'm not terrified. Are you? One is only terrified if they are
powerless to effect a positive change or not suitably dilusioned.

That's a broad brush you stroke. Distortions of fact also come
from "right-wing" media organisations probably to an equal level
of any "left-wing" biased media. It is important to get a balance.
Quite frankly, I don't think you'll find much of a counter
argument to "Silent Sentinels".

I couldn't agree more about hard core evidence. There are hard
coral cores, hard ice cores and hard geologic cores:-) Seek and
ye shall find. As for believable? Well, I am a devoted snow-skier
and while I gather data from 1952, I havn't formed an opinion yet
about that Aussie-Alps perspective. You might say that I have a
self-centred interest in "increased" snowfall. Quite frankly,
I'm finding it extremely difficult to dig up any counter evidence
to the greenhouse doomsayers. Mind you, like argueing with my kids
about the bath water rate of rise, I am only faced with arguing
about the rate of warming, not the fact that it is getting warmer.
As for our tropical corals, one might say that the evidence gleams
as white as fresh snow. Anti-doomsayers might attribute the coral
bleeching to a "natural event" but they would find it extremely
difficult proving that this is not a rare event (twice in 65MY)
and not caused by both excessive dissolved CO2 and excessive sea-
surface temperatures.

While I agree in principle with this, one undeniable fact seems
to be emerging...there is only really one side to this arguement.
We just have to agree on whether its "arguement", "Argument" or
"ARGUMENT":-)

As for some catastrophic trigger, I would have thought that the
mere presence and habits of homo sapien sapien represents one
such trigger. Just consider what the geologic record 100MY into
the future might show of our activities within the comparatively
short 4-5MY period. Particularly the period mapped to the 20th
and 21st centuries of the Gregorian calendar, That is, if it is
actually genus homo studying Earth's rocks at that time...

They do.
Alice Springs experienced at least 8 consecutive days over 30 (15-22
May), possibly 9 (the 14th was 30 rounded).
There is no previous instance of a run of 5 or more consecutive days
over 30 commencing in May (or June or July). A run of 8 consecutive
days has finished in May (28 April-5 May 1942).
The latest previous start in autumn to a spell of 9 or more consecutive
days over 30 is 12 April 1992 (part of a run of 11 extending 10-20
April 1992).
Alice Springs' record for all months is 107 consecutive days over 30
(14 December 1979 - 29 March 1980).

That's for sure Peter. I think Prof. Howard Bluestein, who has to be
the most passionate storm researcher / chaser I have ever seen, said
that severe storm forecasting (and by extension chasing) was 1/2
science and 1/2 art. I have only been actively chasing storms for two
years but have been watching / studying them for as long as I remember
- it's amazing what your subconcious has picked up on past storm events
and then throws back out as insight. Model data etc are great for
helping you decide whether it's worth bringing a camera to work but on
the chase intuition prevails........well most of the time...
Hopefully see all you Sydney district chasers on Wednesday night at the
weatherwatch meeting.

Just keeps on raining here in Adelaide. Near continuous heavy showers this
morning. This is turning into a major rain event. I've received nearly
70mm here at St Peters so parts of the hills must be over the 100mm by now.
4 inches in two days - not bad for dry old SA.....

Not that much rain in Kilsyth over the last few days. 10.4mm in the 72 hours to 9am and another 1.4mm during the day. The city and Laverton have recorded 10mm during the day today and the city was reporting thunder at 3.00pm. Top temp in Melbourne today was 18.0c and it reached 17.4c here in Kilsyth. Dane. BTW that NSW storm chasers site is good, nice to put a face to the names but were are your storm pics.

Monday 5.30pm - In the last hour or so a lovely line of congestus has been
moving towards the Illawarra coast. One of those strange days where you will
find that Penrith or Richmond has had the highest rainfalls. The Cu over the
mountains has been very thick and persistent, but up until 4pm the ocean was
relatively clear and blue skies.
Hardly any wind at all - Lake Illawarra is like a mirror. Very humid close
to 100% I estimate by the amount of mist and sea mist.
Surf has risen from 4ft this morning to 8-10ft now, should be 15ft tomorrow.

The problem is this and the last are not your classic East Coast low, but
tropical origin. Both sorts want to head SE when they hit the higher
latitudes, but your classic East Coast low at least forms just offshore, so
you get 24 hours of it doing the dirty. The fact that this low has moved
S/SW is against the normal run, I think it will steer off SE during
tomorrow.

I like that statement, I hope to think that my experience going back to the
1970's look after the 1/2 ART side of things, and with the help of stuff
like internet models and Andrew's Skew T page the 1/2 science is kicking in.

Hello Everyone
Another day of very little wind and light rain (1mm since 9am). The
harbour this morning had perfect reflections and all the fishing boats
are still out with this run of north easterly winds and mild weather.
Forecasts have been predicting thunderstorms and moderate falls of rain
since the low positioned itself south of Adelaide but no sight of any of
that yet.

Hi All!
We have now had 25mm rain in 24 hrs at Broadford. Broadford is in the
"North Central" BOM district of Victoria: midway between Seymour &
Kilmour in a north / south line(75kms north of Melbourne up the Hume
Hwy).
Cheers Peter
