Hi All.

I have completed the TC Rosita series of map animations, you will find them at:
http://www.ace-net.com.au/~carls/RositaAnim.htm
http://www.ace-net.com.au/~carls/RositaAnim2.htm
http://www.ace-net.com.au/~carls/RositaAnim3.htm

I know some of you would prefer then to be joined into one animation, but I
do not have the HD space on my little Mac just now, but may later when I
have cleared some stuff out.

Regards,
Carl.

Global warming has become such a political issue that there is so much
propaganda out there and so much in the way of political 'smoke screens',
who knows the truth?  There are a few things that are obvious at this time,
at leas to me.  

1) Man is adding carbon to the environment (the atmosphere) and those
associated gasses are increasing.  All things being equal, gradual global
warming should be occurring.

2) Many indications seem to suggest that what increases in temperature may
be occurring are not occurring where and to the extent that the models
indicate should be happening and thus no firm conclusions can be made.  In
other words, we have a far from perfect understanding concerning carbon
sinks and sources as well as the theory of global warming.  There are some
suggestions that if warming were actually occurring, then increases in
associated clouds might offset and limit the degree of warming due to the
reflection spaceward of the incident solar radiation.  Moreover, the models
suggest that with global warming there should be a net increase in
atmospheric stability and a decrease in precipitation.  That has not been
observed.  In fact, some will cite increases in precipitation as an
indication of global warming.   In the mid '70s the word was that the earth
was cooling and we were headed toward a "mini ice age".  Well, that theory
has fallen by the wayside.  The current theory could meet the same end.

3) Fossil records indicate that large 'natural' swings in climate have
occurred from time to time in the past.  Evidence for those large changes
suggest man had nothing to do with them.  We were not around.  Thus, any
real changes now might simply be 'natural' in nature, having nothing to do
with man.

4) If evolution is true and the theories of "stochastic evolution",
"punctuated equilibrium", or the like are accurate, we have nothing to
worry about anyway.  Our bodies and the entire ecosystem will accommodate
these changes by 'automatically' and rapidly acquiring the know-how, the
logos, the intelligence, the design of 'new cooling systems'.  Thus, with
this new spontaneously arising biological information, species will not die
off due to increases in global temperature, but simply will  accommodate
those increases.

5) There is insufficient indication from global measurements that true or
actual global warming is, in fact, occurring and therefore that sweeping
changes in sociopolitical policies are unwarranted at this time.

These, at least, are one man's opinions.

[more snip]

The more *educated public* debate (NOT yours, Les) on climate 
(and many many other scientific issues)
is often characterised by the following.  We hypothesise that an effect 
(global warming) is occuring,  then think of effects that create a negative
feedback (increase in clouds - more reflection of solar radiation) or 
a positive feedback (melting icecaps - less reflection
of solar radiation).  In fact, we can connect any physical meaningful "nodes" 
that we like, for example:

global warming -> melting icecaps -> lower albedo -> more evaporation ->
more clouds -> higher albedo -> bigger ice caps -> global cooling 
(oops, how did I get here?)

The issue of global warming is obviously very complex as it is influenced
by interacting nonlinear effects that cannot be captures by simple
cause-and-effect chains. Climate models might be our best bet to
capture this mess.

Back to smaller scales for me, 
Harald

I've checked my mail settings again (I still use Netscape 3.0, seems
more reliable than 4.0 for my old system) and everything seems okay
there, and I've checked with other folk and they don't usually get
double emails from me, so I'm not sure where the problem lies, my ISP
has had some problems of late with their mail server etc, so maybe... 

I've turned off my "sent" mail file just in case it is sometimes sending
mail or something like that.

Cheers,

This bounced because the sender wasn't a member of the list. I decided to
forward this to the list in case anyone could answer his question, but
remember to send the response to the above address (or at least cc it.)
I'm also sending this to a friend of mine in the UK, who is very
knowlegable about English and European weather.

Once you've managed to decode it - the most important stuff you need to be a
stormchasher in the UK is LUCK and quiet roads, a knowledge of how the UK
weather works helps too...

You could post it to uk.sci.weather as well - you'll get TORRO and COL
members on there (including myself) who are willing to help (:

Hey All,

Just thought I'd send a quick message to you all about the Spring issue of
Scientific American. This issue is dedicated to weather and different event,
such as the May 3 OKC tornadic outbreak, Cloud seeding, and heaps of
interesting articles in it. At $11.50 a copy, I find it a little expensive,
but thoroughly worth it.

Paul.

After months of umming & aahing about how to mount a video camera in a
VR Commodore, I hit on this page 
http://hometown.aol.com//gustfront/RemovableMount2.html  from Brad
Carter in the states.

I know it's 12 months since we adddressed this issue, and my in-car
"hold the camera & cross your fingers that the guy next to you isn't a
cop" technique has improved no end - with winter bearing down upon us
(especially in Melbourne this morning) - I'm still trying to work out
the best way of anchoring a video without making substantial changes to
the internal structure of the car........ so I can video me hurtling
around bends on the way up Mt Donna Buang to check the snowline.....

anyone got anything better than this? or will I spend Easter with a
drill and circular saw?

The Url above has a pretty good description of setting up a chase car, Page

years, I may look back and come up with some ideas of my own.

Hi Everyone,

I have uploaded a few pics that have been sitting on my digi cam for a
while..

A very heavy shower a week or so ago..

A few more from that day

And a few sunset pictures (3 different sunsets)

this one would have to be my favourite - quite a nice sunset..

I then watched as some of the cu developed into some very large cunulonimbus.  Good looking at them.

We checked radar and were dumbstruck seeing Pink on the broad scale near Ulludulla!, My 1st thought was "ITS MOVING NE!" 2nd thought was "My Mum and Sister are about 10 minutes south of Ulludulla at our caravan on the beach for the long weekend and they left this morning!" We checked for warnings and an STA was out, with "Hail large enough to damage roof tiles and damage cars has been reported just south of Ulludulla" When i read this i kept trying to phone my sisters mobile, but it was either switched off or the phone service was down. I still havent heard from them. Anyway, the 3 of us went to do some obs but just couldnt find a lookout around the lower blue mountains with a good southerly view.. We parted ways and came home. We could see the storms south on the way home. Nice updraughts being sunlite a nice red/pink colour (attempted a few photos whilst driving). Came home, checked the radar, still strong development, I decided to head to the coast to try and get some lightning photos, given the very few chances over the last year or 2 for lightning photography. Made it to Maroubra Beach, which has a great S->SE->E->NE view. The storm was well under way, with lightning every 5 seconds or so. I got out the tripod and attempted lightning photos. Missed a whole heap of CG's either just before i pressed the button, or just after i released it on the camera :( Typical!!! BUT I did manage to get a few great CG's on film, with only 3/4 second exposure time, lighting up the whole storm, great structure as well! I had the video camera and started taping, but DOH no tape!!! I was cursing myself, and it was AFTER the storm i remembered i had a spare stashed in the car :(. Sat on the beach wathing the lightning from a few storms further out to sea for 1.5 hours or so, and came home. A great day off, watching 3 hours or so of Tornado video's, and then being treated to a great lightning show just S/SE of Sydney !!! I hope everyone around here got to see it. As try and contact my mum/sister ASAP to get details (hopefully they got some of the large hail!) A very happy chaser!
