Yesterday was another very warm day, much above normal temps. It still remains dry, very dry. There is a rather strong cold front moving southward which will bring about a drop of ~ 25 degrees F. Along with this front there is to be post-frontal storms. I very much hope so but we obviously have a "dry bias". We will see. Hope the stew was good..... Les ************************ Leslie R.

Our media is anything but "unbiased". Rather they are biased which is something that drives me up the wall concerning subjects that are political. But I will leave that alone . Relative to the Olympics and the portrayals of Australia, the media here is very very positive. They are hosting some of the morning shows from Sydney, they have special pieces on parts of Australia, and they do special pieces including interviews with Aussie athletes, their families, their friends and their home towns. They have also chronicled the lives of several of the Aussie athletes following them in their training but also emphasizing human interest information and stories relative to these athletes. These pieces do not only involve the Aussies, of course, but also US and other athletes like those from Russia, China, etc. But many of these do deal with Aussie Olympic competitors. Everything I have seen is positive. Honestly, I have seen nothing that is negative in the slightest. So, you can all feel good about how Australia, its people, its society, and its culture has been portrayed by the US press. Les ************************ Leslie R.

Possibility of thunderstorms here in Adelaide later on Saturday or on Sunday. Looks like the trough will then retreat back into WA though. I can't wait for some thunderstorm and trough action this spring and summer. Would prefer to see a trough from the Eastern satets creep into SA with unstable air but probably have to wait until later the spring or summer for that. Especially seeing as the Eastern seaboard is getting basically no action at the moment. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

I have a question about point (a) mentioned above. First of all, I should point out that my knowledge of global warming is far from extensive, hence this (rather simplistic?) question here. If global warming were occurring, then wouldn't the lower atmosphere warm as well? I mean, the temperature increase measured at the surface should also be reflected in a temperature increase of the lower atmosphere. Although I think I read somewhere that increased C02 actually causes a cooling of the stratosphere. Nevertheless, one would at least expect the temperature increase associated with global warming to, say, decrease as one goes further from the surface. But this, surely, would still mean that the lower atmosphere would warm by some amount, granted that this would be smaller than measured at the surface due to averaging through the lower atmosphere. Although, having said this, point (b), where Blair refers to the short period of satellite data might mean that this is not capable of being detected yet. But my question about point (a) still stands. ---- My original point that I was going to make about the astrometeorology forecasts that Carl Smith put on his webpage http://www.ace-net.com.au/~carls/Olympics.html was answered upon reading one of his past emails. But anyway, a non-constructive comment on my behalf (made easier to say in hindsight :-) ) would be that it's pretty much just astrology applied to the weather, which isn't probably what Carl had in mind, when he mentioned how the alignment of the planets can affect the ionosphere etc etc. By the way Carl, when you put up the first person's predictions, did you tell the others on that astrometeorology mailing list the web location? I'm just wondering if the consistency between their forecasts would be in some part due to them looking what's already there, and then having this influence their readings into the star signs and planetary alignments.

During the opening ceremonies, the only two countries they concentrated on where the USA and Australia - why Australia? Because the crowd goes nuts and that shows people having a good time which leads to better ratings. How happy where the two commentators when they thought the flame couldron stalled at the bottom of the waterfall - is that ok? Or how they refered to it as a flamming martini totally undermining the artistic efforts of a country. Or, the follwing day, reading the Denver Post, their satire of the whole thing on the front page - that REALLY pissed me off! Not to mention that they reported the Australains as wearing 'green and gold' at the openning cermeonies - did they even watch it? I'm sorry, but i wish i was in Austrlaia to watch the olympics because, although we obviously concentrate on Australians, the commentators (especially statistic Bruce - is he doing it again this year?) make a point of showing their knowledge of the other countries and athletes. I feel sorry for the families and friends of the American athletes who can't even watch them race live. Look at Michele Quann - in her interview she said she hadn't been able to tell her brother, my bet is he probably didn't find out his sister was the best in the world till a day latter! Go Aussie!

Yes, one would expect that, but as the lower atmosphere is different to the surface one would not necessarily expect the magnitudes of the warming trends to be the same, nor would one expect the interannual variability of the two to run in tamdem. (Evidence from radiosonde data suggests that the lower atmosphere warmed more than the surface over the 1960-80 period, whereas the reverse in true in the last 20 years). My point was that, as the measurements are of different things, a difference between the two cannot be taken, in itself, to imply that one of the sets of observations is 'wrong'. As an aside, both GASP and the EC model look very warm early next week. I wouldn't be surprised to see mid-30s in western Sydney on Monday and Tuesday (whether or not the hottest air reaches the coast is always a bit of a raffle), and even Melbourne gets into a thickness of 564 on both models (Monday on GASP, Tuesday on the EC) which would suggest a distinct possibility of 30+. Were such a thing to happen it would equal or break the record for the earliest 30+ day in Melbourne (currently 26/9/1987), and possibly threaten the September record of 31.4. From the weekly anomaly maps I'd imagine the September Australian maximum temperature anomaly is running at around +1.2 at present.

Well, Lyle, all I can do is go by my experience, what I saw and heard and continue to see and hear. I too am sorry you disagreed and that your experience was not mine. I must stand by what I said. There was no "glee" when the cauldron stalled in those I was listening to. In fact, I did not even detect that there was a problem or that they recognized it. "A flaming martini"....Obviously we were not watching and hearing the same commentators!! No one made any comment to that affect or anywhere near that. How crude could they get!! Sorry, I just did not hear what you heard. Moreover, the commentators spoke about each countries athletes as they marched in. There was no avoidance of any other country, no bias. But yes, they did expand on Australia a little more and favorably so. I found the coverage to be balanced and very, very favorable to Australia all around. It continues to be such. Believe me, had I heard or seen anything else I would feel as you do. But happily I did not and have not. Had I heard or seen or read what you did, I would be equally disturbed and upset. But that was not what I heard or saw. I am sorry that your experience has not been mine, mate. But I was pleased and continue to be so. Les ************************ Leslie R.

I visited the head honcho's house; BoM, and was impressed with the stuff they have in the forya area, got a few posters and stuff. Yesterday was nice, a nice rain band swept through, low scud underneith some Nimbostratus, looked pretty good. I stayed in brunswick with my gf, it was a good weekend, would have been nice if some storms showed up, would have been good to meet up with some of you melb storm spotter/chasers.

We can probably expect similar weak development in that area and/or the Southern Darling Downs/Maranoa in the next few days. Currently its 24/14 here with a nice seabreeze blowing up to 15kn.

September 22nd 1998 . We will have to wait until November or at the latest the beginning of next year I think before we see some good inflow from states like QLD and/or NSW. But you never know, the atmosphere can be hiding a secret from us and dump a huge amount of tropical moisture on us at any stage hopefully at the same time we have 30+ degrees and a trough on our door step. By the way SG do you chase at all?? Maybe we could meet up one stormy night. I live in the Northern Suburbs of Adelaide ie. Paralowie, so chasing north of here is easy for me, I have chased down south but I usually get there too late of my car dies on the way :) Anyway fingers crossed for the weekend, hope we can meet up sometime.
