Hey all,
One year ago today (9th September), I emailed all the Australian people
that I knew who were interested in weather and also to those that had
Australian weather webpages and invited them to join the newly created
Aussie-weather mail list. A few joined the first day and by the end of the
first week we had about 10 people.
Since then the list has grown enormously, we now have 123 subscribers, we
share our thoughts about whats happening with the day to day weather
happenings, most of us have met other fellow weather enthusiasts in person
in their states because of the list and ofcourse the biggest and best thing
that has happened is that we now have our very own association for people
that are interested in severe weather in Australia with the ASWA.
A big thanks to David Hart in Boston, USA, who lets us use the
world.std.com ISP that he works for, and for the work that he does in
helping maintain the list, thanks David!
Also thanks to Michael Bath who archives all the aussie-weather emails on
his website, he's did it since day 1, and it's very handy to have when you
want to look back at previous weather events that was discussed on the list.
The url is:

And a big thanks to everyone subscribed for making it a great list.

Is this archive still working? For the last little while it's been stuck
on August 17. Or does it only get updated once every few weeks?

I'll second that!!!!
The list has allowed me to fully explore my passion with the weather and
actually get to talk about it with people who don't think at a 40-something
female with a hobby listed as 'atmospheric science' is anything
strange....does anyone else dam streams in the backyard when it rains
too??????
Thanks to everyone who has made the list such a brilliant success!!!!!

It's still a fair way out, but days 7 and 8 of GASP are getting
very interesting indeed - it has a deep low developing south of
Australia, situated just south of Tasmania on Thursday night with
a central pressure of 970 hPa. This is accompanied by a burst of
sub-532 thicknesses covering almost all of Victoria (with 528 touching
the southern coast) and westerly to southwesterly gales.
I'll believe it when I see it, but it's exciting to speculate. If
this pattern were to eventuate, we would probably be looking at 24
hours of blizzard conditions in Victoria above the 600-metre level.
Yesterday's EC was also very windy at its end, but more in the
northerlies ahead of the low. Today's run should come through in the
next hour or two. The UK model doesn't go out far enough (yet).

It doesn't get updated every day, usually about once a week. But I am a bit
behind in the updates :)
Will do it today.

Hi all
I am looking for a good 9 day+ panel display of the MRF on the web. The best
I have found so far is this:
http://weather.unisys.com/mrf/mrf_500p_9panel_aus.html
Does anybody know of a better display?
Thanks, Mark

Yeh...I download the entire 25 of the 0 to +288hr MRF forecast
maps at 12hrs increment from READY with a single script on my
demand. If you like, I could zip them up and put it on some ftp
server for open access. Just spec the parameters needed (max
two per map), central lat/long and the radius field of view in
degrees.

Wow! What a service.
We would like to see a chart centred on 140E, 30S with a 30deg radius. MSLP
and T850 would be the most useful parameters on chart 1. Chart 2 could have
precipitation and TOTTOT index.
We have an FTP server you can use if you don't have one set up.
BTW Michael. What is total amount of data you download each day? Do you know
of a site where one can FTP the MRF GRIB files?

Subject: aus-wx: List 1 year old today - My side of the story
Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com
Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com
A little over a year ago, I was chatting on the undernet channel #weather
(as I do almost every night) with Jacob. I had an inactive mailing list
that I was paying for, but out of which no one was getting any benefit. I
asked Jacob if he thought a list devoted to Australian Weather would be of
any interest to anyone. He told me he wasn't sure as he'd never seen such
a thing, and only knew a handful of weather fans there himself. We
decided to give it a go anyway.
I was expecting, based on my experience with other mailing lists, a low
volume list with maybe 20 subscriber (only 4 or 5 of whom would actually
contribute actively), maybe we'd get one or two messages a day on average.
I was certainly suprised! As Jacob said, we have 126 subscribed addresses
(note that some people may be subscribed with more than one address)
another 17 addresses subscribed to the aussie-weather-digest, and we have
a large number of folks who actively participate.
I have observed with other mailing lists, that they go in a cycle.
First everyone is very excited about the list and tries to think of ways to
get new subscribers, then there is a period where there are arguments
about what on-topic or not. This is followed by long threads on topics
that none but a few care about, followed by the flame wars, segmentation,
long tirades about how how much better the list was in the "good ol' days"
and then finally one group leaves. The remaining subscribers never seem to
have the same enthusiasm, and the list just sort of stagnates.
I have been pleasantly suprised to see that this really hasn't happened to
aussie-weather. This is the nicest list I have ever been on. While there
has been some disagreement, mis-understanding, and hurt feelings (as will
happen in any group) it's always been manageable. We don't even get
grumblings about administrative things like no html or binaries. I find
that the subscribers are respectful of one another, don't really argue
about what is off topic (because everyone has a pretty good shared
understanding of what the topic is), and post interesting messages that I
often post to other weather lists (with the authors permission).
What has made this list so successful? Well, its not me. From the
beginning, I decided to be just a technical advisor. Jacob (who has done a
great job!) is a very hands off list manager. Don't mis-understand. Jacob
and I are kept very busy with the list. We get at least 20 - 40 notices a
day about messages that didn't go through. We also have to help folks who
are having trouble subscribing, unsubscribing, or whose mail isn't going
through, and approve all the mail from folks who send messages from e-mail
address other that those by which they are subscribed. I'm so glad we
don't have to maintain the archive too! I feel we have set-up the list,
and maintained it, but not really lead it. We just sort of let it happen
and only guided it at arms length.
All of which brings me at last to the conclusion of this overly long
posting: This list has been successful far beyond my expectations because
of you the subscribers. You are an extraordinary group of 'netizens and I
am proud to be a part of this.
The future hold many exciting things for us as the technology improves.
Jacob and I will be unveiling new things in the days to come. I do think
we should all have a party on the IRC (Inter Relay Chat) to celebrate the
first anniversary of the creation of the list, where, in addition to
discussing weather, we can just socialize.

P.S. Just a small correction to Jacob's post I used to work for the World
(world.std.com, the first commercial Internet Service Provider in the
world) but left there before I started the list. My connections to "the
World" have been very useful to the list. When we have had problems with
majordomo, I have been able to call one of my friends who still work "the
World" and get matters expedited. I now work for ON Technology, the
makers of Meeting Maker, he leading real-time, cross-platform enterprise
calendaring & scheduling solution. I'm happy to say we have many customers
in Australia, despite the fact that we don't do anything to market there.

Hey Ben from Brisbane here..
I would just like to take this opportunity to thank everyone that was
involved with BSCH over the past 5-6 months or so.. I have by no means
built this website entirely on my own..
I would like to thank both Michael Fewings and Greg Curtis from Western
Australia for all the HTML and Javascript help.. without their help i
would have lost 3 times the amount of hair, and the model products
section just would not be there..
BSCH actually won an award for the javascript yesterday, you can see
this award on the following URL - full credit goes to Michael and Greg:
http://www.bsch.simplenet.com/awards.htm
Also Anthony Cornelius played a big part in relation to the Archives..
he pretty much donated 3/4 of what is in the archives from his own
personal archives..
Both Matt Smith and Paul Miracki have also helped me out a number of
times, either saving radar or lightning tracker data for the archives
whilst i was unable too.. or just helping me out with the site in
general..
Andrew Mcdonald also supplied the thunder sound file that is on the main
page..
Without all of these people, BSCH would not be what it is today.. and i
can't thank you all enough!
I appologise if i have missed anyone above..

READY don't supply TOTTOT on MRF plots:-( I have automated the
generation of the data and gif chart downloads only at READY
sofar. There is another site that can do single parameter charts
for TOTTOL, CAPE, LFTX etc. but I havn't had time to investigate
the automation of these downloads. I think READY is the only
one that you can roll-your-own 2-parameter overlay charts.

That'll do for a test. Need userid, password and dir. Also,
if you want the charts cropped, I do that automatically too.

Over 35MB for the radar and satpic archives for ASWA. The
READY stuff is ad-hoc for my own forecast generation.
> Do you know of a site where one can FTP the MRF GRIB files?
I think READY does their archives in this format. Also, COLA
have links to the ftp source files in GRIB format. I don't
touch the source files as they are too large for a single
download and I havn't mastered GrADS software yet for the
generation of suitable maps. Ultimately, that's the way to
go but I havn't had time enough to "play". Must do some real
work some of the time:-)

Well, I was wondering when the list had started but I had not joined from
the beginning but soon after. But it is incredible to see what has happened
in the past year. I recall, in particular, the Great Ridge Chase which
really had the flock talking and when we came back after the second more
successful attempt...wow. I couldn't believe the amount of messages on the
list.... Thanks guys for the great response, information and education.
Great to see. ASWA certainly would have had to wait years to develop had
this list or something similar not existed.
While I am at it, I can say that there are about 90+ members that have
joined ASWA - a majority off the list.

Hey Ben from Brisbane here..
In a previous email i said that Greg Curtis helped out with the
Javascript and HTML on BSCH, when in fact it was Greg Spencer.. Sorry
Greg (both gregs.. lol)..
Well, it looks like we could get some nice storms in SE QLD tomorrow..
AVN is forecasting some very nice instability for us, with LI's of -4
very early in the morning on the Darling Downs (well west of Brisbane)
and moving towards the coast during the day.. the lowest LI figure is -5
on the southern downs late in the afternoon, but we will feel the
effects of an area of -4..
Although there dosn't seem to be any huge amount of shear.. the wind
profile still has medium-strong winds at most levels, and there is
certainly more then enough instability to whip up some nice storms.. i
wouldn't be surprised at hail in any strong storm in NE NSW or SE QLD
tomorrow.. we could also pick up some late evening/overnight storms,
although i think it's more likely to be thundery rain/rain periods..
I haven't gone over any forecasts outside 48 hours in any great detail..
but i notice that BOM is forecasting storms for us on Monday as well..

Great pics Ira. The first is definitely in tornado territory had it touched.
It looks much different to the waterspouts, and more like a typical tornado.

...and here in the Illawarra it looks like the southerly will sneak through
in the early hours of the morning eliminating what small of a storm we
had...oh well possibly a good strato - cu chase tomorrow afternoon. Could
even be severe drizzle.
