The term(s) you are looking for are "potential evaporation" or "potential
evapotransporation". Interestingly, the calculation of this quantity in
atmospheric models is typically based on transfer coefficient based on
windiness and convective stability multiplied by the difference between the
near surface specific humidity and its saturated equivalent.

Please sent me the URL of your website - i've lost it in the changeover to
IE5!!!!

BTW for anyone who is interested - there's a rearward sloping anafront (cold
front) with upper level trough / high helicity passing across the UK
tomorrow - severe weather  warnings are already being issued - I'll be
chasing it for a distance of several hundred miles, it's funnel / prong /
inches per hr / tornado time!!!

The mounting excitement can be read on uk.sci.weather (:

Hi Ira and all,

Without trying to sound finicky, I don't think you can say lighting is
allowed, while saying "severe weather only" - because by definition,
lightning is not severe - or all thunderstorms would be severe.  Yet on
the other hand, not allow snow/rainbows/sunsets etc.  I believe you're
missing out on quite a few potential photos - basically, if the sunset
is that good, it'll beat the other storm photos anyway.

In 1984, (I was a teenager on my P-plates) I drove across The Hay Plains
in my old HR Holden (Wish I still had it, would make a great chase car)
and encountered a decent dust devil. It was a typically hot and dry Feb.
day. For some silly reason (probably a mixture of adrenain and
testosterone) I decided to power through this devil. Well, I hit it at
around 70mph (old speedo) and it almost threw me off the road! I got the
fright of my life! 

Never again.

As I mentioned last year, my partner and I experienced one (I guess it
was one) out near Wisemans Ferry (St Albans) in around 1990 and it had
little, if any, visible dust in it. We pulled over to pat a horse and
then soon after another horse started running around, looking
distressed, then this devil hit us really hard, I'd guess maybe 40 knot
winds or more, although I find such things hard to estimate. Come to
think of it, we did see some decent disturbance on a hill top about 500
metres away just before this thing hit us. We got sand blasted (dirt
roads) and received small cuts etc and it absolutely covered the car in
dust and fine scratches. It was quite frightening at the time as it
packed more of a punch than we expected.

Great experience though :-)

Hey Anthony, Ira and all,

>Without trying to sound finicky 

I tend to think that Ira has been appropriately pedantic in the entry 
criteria. In line with ASWA's 'mission statement', I think we should forget 
pics of rainbows, sunsets etc - that is unless they are in captured in a 
foul weather pic (in which case they might very well enhance the artistic 
angle). I guess the usage of 'severe weather' was not in a technical sense, 
but directed to the lay person; a nice CG is probably the epitome of bad (ie 
severe:-) weather to that audience.

Also on a slightly different note, lets not be naive and think this calendar 
will only sell to weather people. The quality of some of the pics of I have 
seen from members of this list and others suggest that it will appeal to a 
quite wide range of people.

My thoughts...........

It's possible the forecast might have been abbreviated. Normally
if cloud is a possibility, the UV forecast will say something along
the lines of 'UV index 14, decreasing to 8 under cloud'. The Bureau
itself doesn't issue cloudy-sky values without a clear-sky value
(because 15 minutes of exposure during a clear break on an otherwise
cloudy day is just as damaging as 15 minutes of exposure on a clear
day), but maybe the cloudy-sky value dropped out of the forecast 
somewhere en route?

I'd also be surprised if a clear-sky value as low as 8 was forecast for a
Queensland site in summer - perhaps this was issued as the 'under
cloud' value?

I also have almost lost it driving through a DD at around 65kph, this one
was on the side of the highway near Bunbury W.A.  Really yanked the car
around and I also got one hell of a fright.

Looks like this change has brought with it some small storms,  too far to 
chase and in a very hard area to navigate :(

Last night I went out alone up to Mallala and a few other places around 
there, and noticed lightning out of about 3 cells, but I was unable to 
catch them, plus they had dissipated into mere showers by the time I got to 
Nuriootpa :( So no photos of this event.

Tonights forcast:
ADELAIDE METROPOLITAN AREA
Thursday (until midnight) : A few showers developing with possible thunder.
Becoming milder with fresh southwest to south winds.

It's a chance, but I will do anything for a good look at lightning :(

If the picture is of say a storm at sunset, or mammatus or a rainbow at the
rear of a storm etc then it will be considered. What wont be accepted is
straight out sunset or rainbow, snow, frost type pictures. Whilst these
make great pictures they dont come under what i believe ASWA should cover.
I want this calender to go some way to showing the public that we do get
supercells/tornadoes etc in Australia.

Hi ASWA members and those on the list,

Ok before we get a lot of posts on the list, please just wait a while as 
nothing is going ahead as yet. There were a few assumptions and therefore 
message was posted.

For those that don't know, an ASWA Calendar has been proposed and agreed 
upon by the committee. But we need to finalise the details regards the cost 
and this obviously has to be passed onto the members. So be patient and you 
will hear in due course. Please if you feel you really need to comment on 
this issue, please e-mail me  jdeguara at ihug.com.au .

Thankyou

Jimmy Deguara
President ASWA
