A rather late post on this thread I'm afraid,...
I have a book "Exotica" (no that's not erotica...), which has a photo of
Monstera Deliciosa plants growing on Bald Cypress trees hung with Spanish
Moss (Tilandsia sp.). The caption on the photo goes on to mention that the
plants "have withstood 19F cold here at Tampa Florida". Tampa is on the
Gulf coast side of the Florida peninsular, at a latitude approximately equal
to the QLD Gold Coast. 19F is -7.2C! This would be extreme cold for the
Gold Coast (and most of NSW coast down to Sydney for that matter) and I
doubt that anything remotely like this has ever been recorded on the Gold
Coast itself. (Perhaps maybe at Binna Burra or Springbook at around 1000m
elevation).
Goes to show how the geography and topology of the USA produces much greater
climatic extremes than in Oz. Having visited Houston Texas in May (as a
guest of Compaq), I can vouch for the fact that it was hotter and steamier
than any normal summer day in Brisbane. Hate to think what July would be
like.

Wow!! I never knew this! I've always considered Miami warmer than
Brisbane, generally because most of it is surrounded by ocean. But
Brisbane has never seen snow.
Was it snow, or sleet? Although there haven't been any confirmed cases
that I know of, of sleet in Brisbane either.
I take it you mean F degrees when you say low teens and single digits?
What's the lowest recorded Miami Temp?

My last words also...I agree with MichaelT..."Them's the
breaks". The archive service I run, although automated is
not that smart. It can only recover a wee bit, squawks,
then gives up. If I'm away or not watching the log report
carefully, then stuff-ups can be missed with the loss of
archives. Murphy's law dictates that these stuff-ups
coincide just when there's a severe storm about and not
during the quiescent periods...Some stuff-ups are due to
the sites I access, local router problems, workstation
limits being exceeded e.g. disk space, process numbers,
swap space and of course my fiddling with scripts and
not testing properly or not cutting and pasting the BoM
radar password from E-Mail properly. You name it, it's
happened:-)
All up, I reckon the ASWA site is a credit to its
creator(s) and maintainer(s). Sure, there's some t's
to cross and i's to dot and that'll come with time...
But it's easy to use, intuative, fast and does the job
mostly 24hrs per day, 7 days per week.
Great work Michael Fewings and Greg Spencer! Great
advice also I bet from some of the best private WWW
weather page owners you'll find on the 'net and also
in ASWA...well, a lot of them:-)

The BoM 9.00 am obs at
http://www.bom.gov.au/cgi-bin/wrap_fwo.pl?IDO31N01.html
shows some strong contrasts in dew points over western
NSW this morning.
West of the "line" are places like Tibooburra AP (-2), Broken Hill AP AWS (3)
and Mildura (5).
To the east Lightning Ridge (20), Wilcannia (15) and Bourke (16) were much
higher.
Could be one or two interesting cells near the boundary in the moist
zone later today?
In Canberra at 11.30 am a few congestus are developing over
the Brindabellas in a moist (for this area) DP of 14, DB 23.

I think sometimes with all the conveniences of radar, as well as the
satpics and soundings,
we forget to realize what a great and vital tool this is. Maybe we also
forget the time it takes to properly get all these services running.
So..yeah what i am saying is well done, and i appreciate the work that you
guys (michael and greg) put in so we can see some blue, green, pink yellow

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone could suggest some recommended reading in relation
to the mechanics of severe storms. At the moment i would prefer to focus on
severe thunderstorms which produce the most extreme events (hail, tornados
etc). I am also highly interested in snow storms and the mechanics behind
them.
I would prefer the more scientific material but anything that is enlightning
will be well appreciated. It does not have to be restricted to books,
journals and the like are all o.k.
Thanks,
Lyle

Adelaide is showing 38 at 11.30 local time (with up to 41 at
Parafield). The February (Stevenson Screen) record is a rather modest
43.4 (set in 1912 and equalled in 1981). It's not out of the
question that it could go today, with Friday (when 42 is forecast)
another strong possibility.

Nothing like this has ever been recorded on ANY Australian coast, let
alone a tropical one! Even in Tasmania, few coastal sites have been
below -3.
Low temperatures have, however, been recorded quite close to the coast
- in Queensland as well as further south. Notable low minima within
50km or so of the coast (and near sea level)
include -5 at Amberley (on the western fringe
of Brisbane), -8 at Richmond (western fringe of Sydney), -7 at Bega
(about 15km inland from the far south coast of NSW), -7 at Bairnsdale
and -6 at Sale (both 10-20km inland from the Gippsland coast). The
Richmond figure is the lowest recorded below 200m in Australia,
although I suspect that Coldstream will eventually break this record
when it has a long enough period of observations.
The highlands in SE Queensland have also had some very low minima.
As far as I know there's never been a temperature site at either
Binna Burra or Springbrook (and as ridgetop sites I wouldn't expect
either to have especially low minima anyway), but a bit further inland
Stanthorpe and Warwick have both recorded -11. I wouldn't be surprised
if the new Glen Innes site eventually gets close to -15, although the
lowest so far (in about 3-4 years of record) is -10.

Shhh! Don't give them ideas!!!
I don't mind paying for data on the web, such as frequent sat
pics/radar/observations/forecast models etc - but it's the amount that
is asked that gets me rather upset. How is a personal user meant to
afford $600/yr for radar??? Or another $600/yr to look at forecast
models??? All the meteorological products in Australia are aimed at
corporate users, with no consideration at all, for what private/personal
users. Essentially, if you don't have money, they don't want to know
you - one of my pet hates in life (eg, if dad were to walk into Harvey
Norman dressed up in normal casual clothes, no one wants to know him -
but if we walks in after work in a suit, you can't get rid of the sales
people fast enough!!)
I would just like to see meteorological products available, at a price
that personal hobbiests can afford! And I don't believe this is too
much to ask for!
My whinge of the day,
Anthony Cornelius

In the beginning there was the supercell, then there was Browning who had radar
and saw it was good.
Start at the beginning - you'll find this paper is pretty well spot on, and not
too unreadable either!

Hi Lyle,
I can highly recommend you purchase the book "Thunderstorm Morphology and
Dynamics" by Kessler. I got it via the Co-op Bookshop website back in Dec
1998. I also got the book entitled "The Thunderstorm in Human Affairs" which
is also by Kessler. Both books are published by "University of Oklahoma
Press". The first book is larger and goes into a lot of detail about hail
and tornado formation.

Hi Jimmy and all,
Here in Queensland, I have done further research into Supercell
Deprivation Syndrome. I have outlined four different types (or
acronyms), of SDS.
The first, least severe is: Supercell Deprivation Syndrome - if you're
only supercell deprived, it can't be that bad!
Second, is: Storm Deprivation Syndrome - this is when you have no
storms, let alone a supercell! It is at this stage when things start
getting serious.
Third, is: Summer Deprivation Syndrome - this is when you don't have
summer, let alone storms, let alone a supercell! You commence abnormal
behaviour after this (if chasing after storms isn't abnormal enough!)
Four, and most serious is: Spormer Deprivation Syndrome - Where spormer
is a 5th season that occurs from October 16 to January 15. Spormer is
derived from Spring + Storms + Summer. This is when, not only do you
not get storms that occur in the Spormer Season (ie supercells), but you
don't get storms, you don't get spring, and summer has dissappeared off
somewhere, never to be found again until the next year! During Spormer
Derpivation Syndrome, you get excited over a large Cu, or a puddle that
forms during a moderate shower, or that little white spec on the sat
pics that *could* be a 20,000ft storm 600km away to your SW that *could*
itensify as it reaches you in your +10 LI environment, or that coastal
Cb 200km out to sea that *could* intensity into such a left moving
supercell, it'll actually move towards the coast.
I do not believe it is a coincedence that all of these have the 3 same
initials of SDS!
What am I suffering from? Spormer Deprivation Syndrome!! And BADLY!!!
Another bout of throwing ice cubes on the roof this afternoon...
Yes I am weird

=================================================================
Most archives are complete with perhaps 1 or 2 corrupted
images removed in a time-span of 24 hours. Notable exceptions
are;
radar/a0256_1.zip - Only 6 images included. Rest removed.
To read the archive report, "Archive" refers to the archive
directory that the images came from, "Images Included" refers
to the expanded file names from the "ZIP file" and "Dir" is
the directory where the ZIP file can be found e.g.
http://australiansevereweather.simplenet.com/radar/
For those that have ftp access to this site, it is much faster.
In the ftp case, the zip files are held within "Dir" e.g.
"/Documents/radar". When you ftp into the site, the command
"pwd" should reveal '"/Documents" is cwd'. Make sure that you
use binary file transfer mode when "getting" these files.
The image file name is time-stamped in UTC. In the case of
radar, this is 10 minutes ahead of the image time stamp. In
the case of gmsc and gmsd, this is about one hour ahead. In
the case of gmsfull, the file time stamp is also the image
time stamp. Finally, in the case of msla, the file time
stamp is the nearest whole hour to when the BoM made the
chart available. This can be up to 3 hours ahead of the
analysis time and varies.
All satpics are cropped to the region of interest, for
example South-East Australia, South-West WA etc. The title
of the image is preserved and placed at the top of the image
in all cropping cases. No other images are cropped, but the
same can be done to any JPG/GIF image if requested.
I apologise for the very long delay. There have been numerous
problems to overcome concerning firewall access etc. and when
that has been fixed, I find myself just too busy and unable
to stay behind at work during the evenings due to family needs
until now.
After I clear this archive request backlog, service will be
much better as I have automated some aspects of archive
retrieval that were previously a manual process.
Finally, I would like to change the zip file radar names
to something like "syd0256-20000201-1.zip" meaning the
first block of images on that date with "syd0256" being
narrow-scale and "syd1024" being broad-scale. What has
prevented this in the past has been recipients with a
computer file-system that can't handle long file names.
If all recipients of archives have either Windows-9*,
Windows-NT, Windows-2000, Macintosh or any flavour of
UNIX, then I'll change the naming convention. Please
reply to me directly if you can't handle long zip file
names ASAP.
