RE: aus-wx: dream forecast :)

"We'll all be rooned," said Hanrahan, In accents most forlorn, Outside the church, ere Mass began, One frosty Sunday morn.
The congregation stood about, Coat-collars to the ears, And talked of stock, and crops, and drought, As it had done for years.
"It's looking crook," said Daniel Croke; "Bedad, it's cruke, me lad, For never since the banks went broke Has seasons been so bad."
"It's dry, all right," said young O'Neil, With which astute remark He squatted down upon his heel And chewed a piece of bark.
And so around the chorus ran "It's keepin' dry, no doubt." "We'll all be rooned," said Hanrahan, "Before the year is out."
"The crops are done; ye'll have your work To save one bag of grain; From here way out to Back-o'-Bourke They're singin' out for rain.
"They're singin' out for rain," he said, "And all the tanks are dry." The congregation scratched its head, And gazed around the sky.
"There won't be grass, in any case, Enough to feed an ass; There's not a blade on Casey's place As I came down to Mass."
"If rain don't come this month," said Dan, And cleared his throat to speak - "We'll all be rooned," said Hanrahan, "If rain don't come this week."
A heavy silence seemed to steal On all at this remark; And each man squatted on his heel, And chewed a piece of bark.
"We want an inch of rain, we do," O'Neil observed at last; But Croke "maintained" we wanted two To put the danger past.
"If we don't get three inches, man, Or four to break this drought, We'll all be rooned," said Hanrahan, "Before the year is out."
In God's good time down came the rain; And all the afternoon On iron roof and window-pane It drummed a homely tune.
And through the night it pattered still, And lightsome, gladsome elves On dripping spout and window-sill Kept talking to themselves.
It pelted, pelted all day long, A-singing at its work, Till every heart took up the song Way out to Back-o'-Bourke.
And every creek a banker ran, And dams filled overtop; "We'll all be rooned," said Hanrahan, "If this rain doesn't stop."
And stop it did, in God's good time; And spring came in to fold A mantle o'er the hills sublime Of green and pink and gold.
And days went by on dancing feet, With harvest-hopes immense, And laughing eyes beheld the wheat Nid-nodding o'er the fence.
And, oh, the smiles on every face, As happy lad and lass Through grass knee-deep on Casey's place Went riding down to Mass.
While round the church in clothes genteel Discoursed the men of mark, And each man squatted on his heel, And chewed his piece of bark.
"There'll be bush-fires for sure, me man, There will, without a doubt; We'll all be rooned," said Hanrahan, "Before the year is out."

Hi All

I have no doubt a phobia of storms could cause the reactions the > newspaper story refers to. In fact I've no doubt they could be worse > than most other phobic reactions, because with most other phobias you can > remove yourself from the cause of the phobia (eg: don't climb heights or > don't go near spiders) whereas with storms, it is quite difficult > (sometimes impossible) to get to a place where you are not aware of all of > the scary accompaniments of the storm. So getting into a cupboard > would make perfect sense to a storm phobic. If there was a tornado coming, then you would definately get into a cupboard or something, and that doesn't make you storm phobic :-P.

And the fact that various people have suggested they had phobias earlier in their lives is also interesting. I also have to confess that I would dare to stay outside during the thunderstorm and watch the lightning but because of what I read in books etc, when lightning hit a km or so or if it was around, I ran inside. Now one cannot keep me away from it. Not only that the nighttime tornado possible chase, I went sadistic..... At one stage I thought I was going to turn into forest gump and chase it on foot:)))) Anyway, interesting thread - thanks for the contributions.

I attended a BBQ in Melbourne a few years ago, it was FEB and there had been a cold air outbreak with lots of CJ's and occasional cold air CB's. After arriving in Williamstown and near to Port Phillip bay I noticed a cone lowering under a CJ about 2 klm off shore and moving north east, after about 2 minutes this cone lowering developed into a nice funnel! I dived into my car boot to get the video I thought I had put in there.....yep you know what I found ,,,,....no camera not even a disposable. I watched the funnel drift NE for ten minutes,I rang the BOM who could have seen it from their 26th floor but yep....they had no camera either. I suffered from post no camera trauma for about 6 months and even now when I am in that location the traumatic event comes back to haunt me, I never go anywhere without a camera since then.best wishes Clyve Herbert. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jimmy Deguara To: Sent: Monday, October 22, 2001 4:46 PM Subject: Re: aus-wx: Storm trauma > Hi all, > > I must admit this Storm Phobia discussion has been quite interesting. > > And the fact that various people have suggested they had phobias earlier in > their lives is also interesting. > > I also have to confess that I would dare to stay outside during the > thunderstorm and watch the lightning but because of what I read in books > etc, when lightning hit a km or so or if it was around, I ran inside.

LOL. I've seen a couple of possible funnels, and had no camera. I've even ridden my push bike through a big dust devil(except it came from the sea on a really windy rainy day), but had no camera with me. Anyone know if those tiny little film cameras are any good? The film is that really small format, and I could put the camera for one of them easily on my keychain. Anyone know if they are useful for storms?

I was so close to NOT taking the camera gear with me to the Brisbane ASWA meeting on Saturday so would have missed those Gold Coast funnels. But it is rare for me not to take cameras everywhere. The only disaster I've had in about 15 years of capturing the weather on film is the storm last year on 25/10/2000. Both my video camera batteries failed when this awesome structure developed: http://australiasevereweather.com/storm_news/2000/docs/0010-04.htm and I thought a tornado was forming ! This is the only time I have wished that a tornado did NOT occur :-) and back to the original thread, I cannot recall ever being scared of thunderstorms, but maybe it's because I spent my younger years in Melbourne (been in NSW since 1981) and there wasn't much severe weather to be scared of . regards, Michael At 08:33 PM 22/10/2001 +1000, you wrote: >Hi all trauma victims. >I attended a BBQ in Melbourne a few years ago, it was FEB and there had been >a cold air outbreak with lots of CJ's and occasional cold air CB's.

Coincidentally this event was analysed at Saturday's QLD ASWA meeting and it was interesting to see the comparison in conditions on MB's video. Both events featured a long North/South cloud street off the coast, marking a convergence line between inshore surface SSW and offshore SE. The Skew-T for both events features unstable atmosphere below 2000m with a cap at 2000m (rather weaker cap on Sat 20th). Both events have wind gradually shearing from SE to SW/W at 2000m assisting cyclonic rotation in updrafts. Both days featured very low CAPE (0.0 on June 11th and 13.8 on Sat 20th), and positive LI's (+13 on June 11th), highlighting the fact that all the action was in the lower atmosphere. Further it seems that the setup is not unusual and frequently occurs along the E coast during the morning of days when a high is edging into the Tasman. This should be relatively easy to predict from conditions the day before, meaning likely successful spout chase days are possible!!

Typhoon/hurricane Podul has been a little odd since its early stages showing very little serious movement except a slow northward drift,at midday today(Aus time) it has finally developed an eye and looks very intense, still seems to be drifting slowly to the north. Poduls early twin in the southern hemisphere can still be found at the top of an upper mid level trough in the same Longitude. Podul has developed good divergence aloft, in the early stages there also seemed to be some interaction with an equatorward cold pool low to the northeast. The sub tropical jet is well to the north so Podul's is also well away from the shearing affect. It will be interesting to keep an eye on its progress,also, I noticed your area missed out on that tropical disturbance that moved into North Vietnam and Laos over the past two days. regards Clyve Herbert. +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ To unsubscribe from aussie-weather send e-mail to:majordomo at world.std.com with "unsubscribe aussie-weather your_email_address" in the body of your message. -----------------------jacob at iinet.net.au------------------------------ From: "clyve herbert" To: Subject: Re: aus-wx: Waterspouts off the QLD Coast Saturday Date: Tue, 23 Oct 2001 14:28:52 +1000 X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.00.2615.200 X-OriginalArrivalTime: 23 Oct 2001 04:30:16.0157 (UTC) FILETIME=[6A0F30D0:01C15B7B] Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com Hi all. It seems that the LI's have rather limited application when applied to this type of atmospheric profile,however there have been a number of sightings of waterspouts/funnels in similar conditions along the east coast of Australia,so lets look at the operating conditions on the day, similar relative conditions have also been documented in Bass Strait and a number of photo's are available. Such tornadic/waterspouts/funnels are a significant occurrence under what could be described as rather perceived stable conditions. So it would be a good idea to apply any other atmospheric indices or develop a new one to possibly predict the risk of such developments especially in view of the number of small craft operating over these Australian waters. Another interesting factor is that it is probable these extremes of weather are not fully diurnally based but can occur at any time day or night.The conditions as pointed out in the soundings are recognisable, i.e. Low level instability coupled with low level moisture,off shore convergence lines and capping at rather low levels...you will also find rather steep lapse rates below 700hpa which increase with warmer sea surface temps, such airmasses are usually of southern origin,above the cap the air is usually very dry, (often extremely dry) but the congesting cumulus also show marked penetration of this cap and showers may also occur. The evaporating potential of the dry air layer is an important ingredient required to expel the updraft and increase low level parcel upward motion (energy converson),the convergence lines also play an important convergence zone providing intensified low level inflow and increased micro vorticity.all very interesting stuff..... 'but its the updraft strength that counts'.... regards Clyve Herbert. ----- Original Message ----- From: John Woodbridge To: Sent: Tuesday, October 23, 2001 12:21 PM Subject: RE: aus-wx: Waterspouts off the QLD Coast Saturday > Hi All, > > What is interesting about Sat, is that the setup was not dissimilar to 11th > June, when the huge spout of South Stradbroke island was captured. > Coincidentally this event was analysed at Saturday's QLD ASWA meeting and it > was interesting to see the comparison in conditions on MB's video.

I knew that it was a fatiguing flight, departing Penong just after first light and flying via Forrest, Kalgoorlie and on to Perth. 15 knot (or so it seemed) headwinds all the way. one or two legs were over 4 hours. I am still pinching my self at what the total is saying. 11 hours 54 minutes of tacho time flown today. I may write this up more fully later but here goes for a draft. Departed Thursday at crack of Dawn and flew with slight tailwinds to Kalgoorlie, refuelled, then on to Forrest, refuelled, then trecked out across to Ceduna to overnight in one of the motels there. 8 hrs 30 mins of flying. Friday, pretty damn early I set off and flew at low level under cloud to Port Pirie. I remember encountering Iron Knob and having to climb like hell to get up over it. Walls of Cloud, mist and rain forced me to skirt Whyalla to the south and track out over the water for something like 40 nautical to reach Port Pirie, refuelled, then across the desert to Swan Hill at 500ft under a cover of cloud at 750-1000ft. Just near loxton I recall peering ahead into the gloom and seeing a tower reaching up above me into the cloud. It turns out to be 721ft high. Across Sunset County I was down on the deck and visual out the window, receiving quite a hammering from the turbulence. From Ouyen in it cleared and was actually quite plesant flying into Swan Hill , refuelled, then on to Albury under a 1500ft cloud cover. 6 hrs 25 mins flying time. spent a day talking to the oldies. Sunday early I set off in crystal clear skys for Temora and the combined NSW SAAA Chapters flyin and the SAAA AGM. Was duely relected as National Secretary. Took one of the other National Councillors out for a fly in the Tailwind as a prelude to his first flight in his near completed Dragonfly. He'll have no problems in test flying his new machine. I had intended overnighting at Temora and setting off back to Perth at crack of dawn but I discovered that everyone was flying home that afternoon so I decided to head back to Albury to see the oldies for one last night. 1 hr 25 mins flying time. (this has certainly fixed mum for the teary farewells. I always seem to be back the next night :-) so now they are just a "ok see you mate") Parked the aeroplane out in the open that night so that I didnt wake my friend with the hangar too early. Managed a 3am wakeup on monday and was out with the aircraft prepped and waiting for departure 15 mins after crack of dawn. Headed out into crystal clear sky for the leg to Swan Hill, refuelled and set off to do business with the fronts sweeping in across South Australia. By this time the wind was 15 knots, at times bang on the nose. About Loxton I encountered a general wall of rain with some breaks. heading toward the breaks showed that the rain was moving back in the direction of Adelaide at about half my speed so I turned around and flew back to Renmark to sit for a while and wait. Half an hour later the horizon looked more promising so I took off only to find ahead of me a wall of rain extending from the Murray River area south to the Coast. I found amazingly a corridor through the rain on the direct track to Port Pirie so I took it. Down to 1000ft to fly under the fingers of cloud and out over the deserts north of Wakerie. 15 knots on the nose and quite turbulent. The flight time on this leg was up from 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 hours with the turbulence over the ranges near Burra requiring a throttle back to increase the strength margins. The rolling turbulence near Crystal Brook is common I'm told but was the stuff of full aileron recoverys. An absolute roller coater ride with the seat belts really snugged down. This turbulence continued in a gradually abating manner all the way to Port Pirie. After battling through the circuit I managed to put the wheels down so gradually that I couldnt feel whether they were on the gravel. I used up half the runway in a tail low wheeler not game to change focus in case they werent on the deck. Over Whyalla at this point was a dark black wall that must have extended up to 35,000ft. I managed to get the loan of a corner of the huge hangar and left the aircraft to have a walk around Port Pirie. The Pub put on a wonderful counter lunch which I washed down with a few squashes. Crossing one of the Port Pirie streets while having a walk I noticed that the sky to the west was high stratus. a call to the airservices met guys showed that it was indeed improving. I walked the hour and a half back to the airport watching it improve all the while. Looking at the weather there was akin to looking out at Canberra and deciding on weather in Sydney so another call for met info was made. It looked flyable. The aircraft was dragged from the hangar, prepped and we were off to discover that Whyalla and the areas north were still under the dense black cloud. I think I tracked half an hour out across the water to cross the coast south of Whyalla. the iron knob area was covered by a huge thunderstorm. Watching active lightning in the storm was just a trifle unnerving so the track was made well to the south of it. The GPS here was absolutely vital as cloud obscured most useful navigation marks. I think I skirted it by tracking well to the south of Kimba. Around Wudinna there was miles of low cloud and rain but I managed to find gaps and press on. About 100 miles out from Ceduna I noticed a really thick cloud formation forming over the ocean and seeping inland. it seemed to extend from 3 ~ 400ft to miles up. That last 100 was a race against the cloud making note of fall back positions where I could still land and sit it out iff I lost the race. After skirting clouds for quite some distance off track I managed it into Ceduna and was amazed to see that to the west was clear. after a lightning fast refuel I rang Nullabor for an out the window look. it proved to be sunny with about 7 knots from the north. I'd have to do the flight time calc airborne and if they saw me I'd overnight if not, well sorry. Airborne the GPS gave me the bad news, headwinds meant getting there half an hour after last light. Well Penong would have to do. 5 hours 18 mins flying for the day. after landing at Penong I met a local pilot and received an invite for the night. I accepted and took them out for tea in return. After a very nice night's sleep I managed a start just an hour after first light. I tracked around lots of clouds to the west of Penong and finally encountered heavy cloud near the top of the bight. I think I spent most of the next hour around 600ft skirting through gaps in the rain showers. Eventually I passed to the north of Nullabor with the Station just visible through the gloom. I think eventually I skirted rain for some 200 miles to get through into a layer of low lumpy cloud that extended right through to Forrest. With the headwind that leg extended out to nearly 4 1/2 hours. A lightning fast refuel was made by Max at Forrest. It was then off to Kalgoorlie at low level and bugger the headwind. Another quick refuel at Kalgoorlie and off into another headwind. The clouds were higher after Kalgoorlie but the headwind remained. Out over Marvel Lock, Quairading, Beverley and finally the ranges and Perth's tiger country came into view. The final landing was a bit average due to fatigue but the aircraft is locked away in the hangar in one piece. 33 1/2 hours to fly solo across Australia and back, with just 6 minutes shy of 12 hours done today. I think I'm off to crash for the night. It is back to the day job tommorrow ....but wearing a Forrest Airport "Travelling Across Australia" cap just for the memories :-) regards all Stealth Pilot (oh btw, after the disasters of the last across australia flight I didnt have to put a spanner to anything on the aircraft this time. just one little panel screw worked loose during the entire flight.)

Being one who often bags the forecasters/models when they get things wrong, yesterdays event was very well forecasted. The predictions of heavy falls in the NE of Vic in particular came off very well with upto 77mm reported at Mt Hotham, and widespread 25 to 50mm falls covering most of Northern Victoria and southern NSW east of Bendigo (http://www.bom.gov.au/hydro/flood/vic/). Many rivers in this region are now near or at flood levels (eg http://www.bom.gov.au/cgi-bin/wrap_fwo.pl?IDV36050.txt). With further showers and thunderstorms in coming days, and another rain event looking likely for late on the weekend, things could get a bit interesting. This is the second October in a row which has seen good rains for Victoria, once again going towards relieving rainfall deficiencies/"drought conditions associated with poor winter rains. Closer to home, a further 27mm to report from Melbourne's eastern suburbs last night (Ferny Creek) bring us to just short of 170mm for the month. Also a stand-out for the month is how the Melbourne CBD rain repellent is working as good as ever.. the city gauge recorded just 3mm, and sits on ~53mm for the month (well below normal), while sites in the suburbs east and west are above/well above average.

I have finally got my act together with using the video capture card and prepared seven movie clips. If you only have a dial up connection, I'd suggest clip 4 and 7 are the most worthwhile, especially if you haven't seen such a base structure or large hail before.

I am now located at Krambach, near Taree on the Mid North Coast of NSW. Any observations from here can be found on my page at www.linx.iwarp.com and don't worry, the site is clean. It is extremely dry here and the last drop of rain we had was a few days ago at 1.75mm. The most rain we have had in around the last month is about 6mm. There appears to be some water in the cloudcover today so with a bit of luck something will fall. We have been running sprinklers 24/7 to try and keep the gardens alive and the creek is just about dried up by everyone else doing the same. The ground is that hard that one cannot even drive the spikes for the sprinklers in properly. Any, heres to the upcoming front.

The only one I can see at a glance is that they are both on a 2D topographic background, but a lot of weather images are like that. Since we launched the 3D lightning tracker images a year ago we have had loads of feedback. Two requests that kept coming at us: 1 Put the image in 2D, they are much easier to analyse. 2 Put town names on the map, so we can see where it's happening. To answer your question YES, we have been working on these images for some time - a few months on and off. Our clients have had access to this for about a year. This is part of the broader project to get all our weather imagery on the same projection so that we can more easily combine various data types. The fruits of this are obvious now with the addition of composite radar to the lightning images. I know not exactly ground-breaking innovation but I have not seen similar images elsewhere. We are also working on new satellite images that will be on the same backgrounds allowing radar and satellite to be readily comparable. Of course we are always listening to feedback to provide better stuff for weather freaks (like us). Of course these images would not be possible without the fantastic services provided by the Bureau of Meteorology and Kattron Lightning Detection. Thanks for your interest.

It's a good job it's not approaching anywhere inhabited for a while. As far as the concept of being on an atoll under it, I reckon one would have been blown away by now. If one had a good solid building there that had been built according to our standards here, it would be a very exciting place to be.

Peter,

It had darkened right up down here, as per my earlier email. Looking outside at 14:45 though there is a decent shower to my north which we are just copping the edge of. Large drops and as before, the wind is quite cool, that feeling it has from the outflow behind a thunderstorm that breaks the heat of a day. Behind us now though it is much more patchy cloud cover and looking warmer again.

Hi Everybody

Can anyone help with sites that may help me better read/understand Satellite pics.

I'm not really understanding all I'm looking at when I study the GMS-5 pics, or others for that matter.

It would be appreciated.

Thank-you

Hi Dave

I assume Mark Hardy will respond personally but this upgrade was mooted by Mark on TWC Forum during May when he said they were at that time working on the composite.

At that stage, I believe he said it was about a month away from release and I have been waiting patiently until now!!

I hope this helps.

Mark..

What gave you the idea to upgrade the image, was it from Country Energy's
new lightning

interested.

Wollongong 14:20 EST,

Well it has beeen pretty much a summers day down here. Warm and humid since early with plenty of decent cumulous around. It seems to have formed a bit of a strato-cu deck from the portion of the sky I can see, which seems to be the result of some pretty decent capping. I'm not holding out much hope of anything as it would seem that the action for today will be to the NE of NSW and by the sounds, to the Vics and Tasmania. Maybe a light splash of rain will suffice as it is looking pretty dark to the west.

The temp this morning at 5am when I left for work was 20.3, up from 19.7 when I got up 15 minutes earlier. The wind has been mostly from the N and NW, but around 11am it was blowing reasonably from the E for a period until about 11pm. The wind though now seems N-NW and is a little cooler. So maybe something might happen, you never know. Yesterday as I ran home there was an area of better convection which was slowly moving north along the shoreline towards the Royal and Sydney. All around there was cumulous which seemed to be hitting a good hard cap, but in this small area there was some good grunty action happening with the interaction of the NE seabreeze and warmer, dryer W'ly. But later as the NE'ly died out the sky became almost completely clear (around 6pm), but around 6:30-7 good cumulous began growing north of Wollongong and was the only cloud in the sky. I didn't see anything forming an anvil from this side, but there was 1-2 flashes around this time. So fingers rossed, if not we could always move to Vic, they get all the action....

Hi Ashton

I responded yesterday. Possibly some people didn't receive it - not to worry. Yes, it took longer than expected to get it up and running. Not that it was particularly difficult - other things just kept jumping up and getting in the way. Still, we're getting there, slowly...

Cheers

Hi Dave

I assume Mark Hardy will respond personally but this upgrade was mooted by Mark on TWC Forum during May when he said they were at that time working on the composite.

At that stage, I believe he said it was about a month away from release and I have been waiting patiently until now!!

I hope this helps.

Mark..

What gave you the idea to upgrade the image, was it from Country Energy's
new lightning
tracker, or had Weather Company been in process of this for sometime. Just
interested.

I was up flying today, over Cranbourne way, and a few nice small CB's moving across Melb. One out Sunbury way, and the other moved across the bay, then over the peninsula towards French Is. The peninsula one looked to have 2 or so anvils (very fibrous though) potruding through the rest of the cloud structure, and a small lowering appeared when it moved over the land. About 5 minutes later, a small funnel formed, but quickly dissipated. Let's hope for something bigger and meaner soon!!!!

Peter,

It had darkened right up down here, as per my earlier email. Looking outside at 14:45 though there is a decent shower to my north which we are just copping the edge of. Large drops and as before, the wind is quite cool, that feeling it has from the outflow behind a thunderstorm that breaks the heat of a day. Behind us now though it is much more patchy cloud cover and looking warmer again.

Hi guys:

Finally action time in the North.

In the Indian Ocean around 95 degrees east there is a low that has been given moderate potential for development in three days, but unfortunately is expected to move West. It'll be interesting to see todays forecast.

Closer to home, is a weak low in the Coral Sea which is quite Impressive on Willis Island radar (this is coming from someone who has seen about 15mm of rain in four months) The low on radar is moving SW or SSW, the Bureau on its High seas forecast says its weakening. If it hits the coast north of Townsville it could cause some great rainfall (e.g falls between 100 to 300mm) Fingers crossed all you North Queenslanders.

However I don't know why the bureau is not mentioning it on any of their forecasts outside the High Seas forecast.

The origin of the Low seems to me to be from that cloud cluster that was around the Solomons and then steadily moved West to be just east of PNG, this low seems to have broken away from that cloud. (meanwhile that cloud cluster also appears to have broken up considerably.)

It looks to be a relatively interesting 24 - 48 hours up here.

Hi all

So despite some conjecture about the first named TC of the Aussie season being initiated in the northern Coral Sea (not likely to develop any further now), TC Alex has formed near the Cocos Islands in the WA area of responsibility.

With the SOI being fairly neutral at present, I am anticipating an above average Australian TC season this year (esp. in the Coral Sea).

That's interesting Simon, because the SOI has been neutral for a long while now and last summer's Coral Sea cyclone count was well down on the usual.However the long term outlook is going for above average rain in Queensland..so will be interesting whatever the cause. I hope you are right and we get some monsoonal depressions coming into NSW from the remnants of Coral Sea cyclones or whatever. Lately the 'rain depressions' in summer have been staying up there mostly.

Hi all

So despite some conjecture about the first named TC of the Aussie season being initiated in the northern Coral Sea (not likely to develop any further now), TC Alex has formed near the Cocos Islands in the WA area of responsibility.

With the SOI being fairly neutral at present, I am anticipating an above average Australian TC season this year (esp. in the Coral Sea).

Hi all Tropos.

I presume in the Australian region that a tropical low pressure system can be named even if the sustained strongest winds do not reach 'hurricane' force,I was surprised to hear of this low being named 'Alex', but with sustained winds near the centre of just 35 knots! and gusts to 45knots.I would except the system being named tropical storm Alex to define it as being below tropical cyclonic intensity as they are else where in the world,according to the world excepted standard the defined speed to Qualify as a tropical cyclone/Typhoon/Hurricane is winds greater than 66knots, could someone put me right on this one regards Clyve Herbert.

I believe that most parts of the world have the convention of naming the storm as cat 1 if winds reach gale force in all 4 quadrants.

Hi guys:

Finally action time in the North.

In the Indian Ocean around 95 degrees east there is a low that has been given moderate potential for development in three days, but unfortunately is expected to move West. It'll be interesting to see todays forecast.

Closer to home, is a weak low in the Coral Sea which is quite Impressive on Willis Island radar (this is coming from someone who has seen about 15mm of rain in four months) The low on radar is moving SW or SSW, the Bureau on its High seas forecast says its weakening. If it hits the coast north of Townsville it could cause some great rainfall (e.g falls between 100 to 300mm) Fingers crossed all you North Queenslanders.

However I don't know why the bureau is not mentioning it on any of their forecasts outside the High Seas forecast.

The origin of the Low seems to me to be from that cloud cluster that was around the Solomons and then steadily moved West to be just east of PNG, this low seems to have broken away from that cloud. (meanwhile that cloud cluster also appears to have broken up considerably.)

It looks to be a relatively interesting 24 - 48 hours up here.

CHEERS (from a dryish Townsville)

Naming of tropical cyclones in most areas of the world is done when the system first achieves a sustained wind speed near the centre of 35 knots. However, this is not as simple as it might appear, as different authorities have different definitions of a 35-knot sustained wind speed. Basically the Americans, (JTWC, NHC, etc.) all use a one-minute average speed to define the speed. Most of the rest of the world uses a ten- minute average speed to define the speed. And at least one station I know of uses a sixty-minute average speed. In the Philippines AOR, however, the storm is named as soon as it becomes a Tropical Depression (what BoM calls a "Tropical Low") with wind speeds of around 20 knots near the centre. Storms in the North Indian are numbered but never named. Now that just takes care of the naming. What the storms are classified as also varies from place to place. The JTWC and other American agencies use the terms "Tropical Depression" (up to 35KT), "Tropical Storm" (35-65KT), "Typhoon" (65-130KT) and "Super Typhoon" (130KT and higher) - all measured on the 1-minute method. Elsewhere in Asia the terms are "Tropical Depression" (up to 62km/h), "Tropical Storm" (63-87km/h), "Severe Tropical Storm" (88- 117km/h) and "Typhoon" (118km/h and higher) - all measured on the 10- minute method. In the Australian region the BoM calls all such storms "Tropical Cyclones" (34-63KN) or "Intense Tropical Cyclones" (64KN and higher) and gives them categories from 1 to 5 based on the strongest gusts. They are Category 1 (up to 125km/h), cat2 (125-170km/h), cat3 (170-225km/h), cat4 (225-280km/h) and cat5 (280km/h and higher). Note that these categories are NOT the same as the categories used for Hurricanes in the US. So as you can see, whether it's naming or numbering, the whole business gets very complicated.

Subject: aus-wx: Weak Low Coral Sea/ TC possible Idian Ocean

Hi guys:

Finally action time in the North.

In the Indian Ocean around 95 degrees east there is a low that has been given moderate potential for development in three days, but unfortunately is expected to move West. It'll be interesting to see todays forecast.

Closer to home, is a weak low in the Coral Sea which is quite Impressive on Willis Island radar (this is coming from someone who has seen about 15mm of rain in four months) The low on radar is moving SW or SSW, the Bureau on its High seas forecast says its weakening. If it hits the coast north of Townsville it could cause some great rainfall (e.g falls between 100 to 300mm) Fingers crossed all you North Queenslanders.

However I don't know why the bureau is not mentioning it on any of their forecasts outside the High Seas forecast.

The origin of the Low seems to me to be from that cloud cluster that was around the Solomons and then steadily moved West to be just east of PNG, this low seems to have broken away from that cloud. (meanwhile that cloud cluster also appears to have broken up considerably.)

It looks to be a relatively interesting 24 - 48 hours up here.

CHEERS (from a dryish Townsville)

Chris

I got down to 12C here last night, 11C at the AP. 10C at Amberley, and a blistering cold (for October), 5C at Stanthorpe! The culprit is the drier W'lies, so the diurnal range has been quite great. At 6am it had warmed up a little at my place to 14C, 7am 21C, 8am 25c, 8:30am 28C, 9:30am 30C. It's hovered around the high 20's to 30C here for most of the day. I would much rather 18-27C than 12C-31C. Hopefully the DPs will increase this evening with the seabreeze (they should, in theory - get up to the mid-high teens) - we can only hope. If we do get that moisture, and it isn't too shallow - and winds persist N-NE tomorrow, that does (IMO) open up the possibility for storms in SE QLD/NE NSW tomorrow. The BoM at 11am were going for fine tomorrow, chance of a storm in the SE Coast district on Tuesday. Both have a chance I think, although Tuesday has the potential of becoming too dry. The air tomorrow will be a little cooler, around -13/-14C at 500mb. I noticed that AVN was suggesting LIs of -2/-3 - it was interesting, however it was going for 14-16g/kg of moisture in the area, perhaps a little too high. If we get the moisture, I do think there is a good possibility of at least something on the ranges though tomorrow. And Tuesday depends largely on whether the winds go W/NW or N/NW or NW/NE (the latter two being preferable), if it gets too dry - it might be another bay/ocean storm night! -- Anthony Cornelius Vice President & Queensland Coordinator of the Australian Severe Weather Association (ASWA) (07) 3390 4812 http://www.severeweather.asn.au +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ To unsubscribe from aussie-weather send e-mail to:majordomo at world.std.com with "unsubscribe aussie-weather your_email_address" in the body of your message. -----------------------jacob at iinet.net.au------------------------------ From: "Nick Sykes" To: Subject: aus-wx: Victorian Storms Date: Sun, 28 Oct 2001 19:03:25 +1100 X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2600.0000 X-OriginalArrivalTime: 28 Oct 2001 08:00:38.0014 (UTC) FILETIME=[A15679E0:01C15F86] Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com Hey all Another day, another storm day in Victoria. Storms started to go up over the SE melbourne suburbs early afternoon and I was quickly out the door with digi cam in hand. Heading down to Narre Warren heading for the freeway. Got to Narre Warren and it was looking !!! to the SW, SE. Went up a hill and set up the camera. Saw a great CG, CC as I was setting up, nice purple colour :) A couple more bits of lightning occurred but missed them on the cam. Some great outflow developed from one of the cells. Any other enjoying the view I headed down to pakenam, watching further cells develop. Got word that north of pakenam was getting dumped on with pink and red so decided to head up to Cookatoo. On the way got slammed by 100mm/hr rain and hail, only small stuff ): Got treed in so heading back to pak, then headed east to warrigul. The whole time I could see this droolable cell to the north, in the hills ): access up that way is a beep, so headed to warrigul. By the time I got there the stroms showed marked weakening so decided to call it a day. Overall a great day, and another storm day for Vic :) I would like to thank Chris Gribben, Peter Creswick, David Carroll, Robert Goler, Paul Yole and Mum & Dad for updates sorry if i forgot anyone), they were much appreciated.

It is the problem of the cyclone having moved from one AOR to another. In the Australian region, the BoM quite sensibly leave the same name with the same storm so Steve was named in Brisbane AOR, crossed Darwin AOR and travelled through Perth AOR. However where the authorities related to neighbouring AORs are unrelated to each other each has its own naming system. Therefore when 02S formed it was named ALEX by Perth as it was within the Perth AOR. When it crossed into Reunion's AOR during the weekend, it was renamed ANDRE. Fortunately other authorities such as JTWC retain both names when referring to it so we have some hope of telling which storm is which.

Hi all,

Just letting you know that my website, Hunter Valley Weather, has moved to http://www.hunterweather.com. I finally got around to getting my own domain before it got too big and too serious. :o) You may find that it has changed a little to my old site and a little more stuff has been added. I am getting there slowly. Please update bookmarks.

Cheers,

Hi All,

Currently there is three large bushfires that are visible from my place in the lower Hunter. There is one near Kurri Kurri, Karuah and the other appears to be near Mt Sugarloaf. There is some pyro Cu's about due to the fire. The current winds are blowing from the WNW at 28kts, temp is 32�C, RH just 10% and DP is -2�C. As a result from these conditions, the evaporation levels are very high!!! It has been a while since we have experienced such conditions around this area. The drying conditions can be noticed by the paddocks. It appears as though the grass has been scorched since this morning.

There are a few big fires currently in the Greater Taree area, one at Coopernook (just north of Taree), one near Old Bar which has surrounded some houses (east of Taree) and one at Tiperary which had trapped 1-3 tankers who luckily got out (located South West of Taree), the Tiperary one just called though to control to state that they have just spotted another fire near to them. Tomorrows weather expected: 28c RH17% West 35-50kn High Fire Danger, Max temperature near my house today was 37c, I am located very close to Tiperary and my local unit is controlling it. One of the scenes has just called though as I am writing this to state that more houses are under threat. Winds here today have been gusting around 30-50kn and the RH is approximately 10-20%.

very high evap levels. - fires in Sydney's west were showing the fickle winds and the effects of the airflows off the ranges. On the fire scene the winds were NW, WNW and SW with strong squals. At on stage the gusts swung right around to be SSE at about 35kts ...great shots and effcts for the live cross but a little unsettling to feel the heat.

Total Fire Ban tomorrow

Subject: aus-wx: Fires in the Lower Hunter, RH just 10%

Hi All,

Currently there is three large bushfires that are visible from my place in the lower Hunter. There is one near Kurri Kurri, Karuah and the other appears to be near Mt Sugarloaf. There is some pyro Cu's about due to the fire. The current winds are blowing from the WNW at 28kts, temp is 32�C, RH just 10% and DP is -2�C. As a result from these conditions, the evaporation levels are very high!!! It has been a while since we have experienced such conditions around this area. The drying conditions can be noticed by the paddocks. It appears as though the grass has been scorched since this morning.

Wow. That's amazing to be able to see that on a computer program so easily. I was just wondering though, aren't the barbs supposed to point the same direction as a wind sock would in the winds?

Without having seen the original obs, I agree with the list's consensus that a seabreeze has worked its way inland against a (weakening?) larger-scale westerly surface flow. Such a "dryline" would then be a sea breeze front. Robert G. Fovell at UCLA is doing some interesting research on what a sea breeze front can do when it intersects Horizontal Convective Rolls (a boundary layer instability mode). The "classic dryline" is a larger-scale confluence zone (2 airstreams coming together, then running alongside each other) between a drier continental airmass and a more humid (tropical) maritime airmass. The original definition was specific to the Southern Plains dryline of the U.S., 500-1000 km away from the nearest coast. Such a dryline is presently draped across NE QLD, but its identification is limited by the large distances between surface observation sites.

Yep
very high evap levels. - fires in Sydney's west were showing the fickle winds and the effects of the airflows off the ranges. On the fire scene the winds were NW, WNW and SW with strong squals. At on stage the gusts swung right around to be SSE at about 35kts ...great shots and effcts for the live cross but a little unsettling to feel the heat.

Hi All,

Currently there is three large bushfires that are visible from my place in the lower Hunter. There is one near Kurri Kurri, Karuah and the other appears to be near Mt Sugarloaf. There is some pyro Cu's about due to the fire. The current winds are blowing from the WNW at 28kts, temp is 32�C, RH just 10% and DP is -2�C. As a result from these conditions, the evaporation levels are very high!!! It has been a while since we have experienced such conditions around this area. The drying conditions can be noticed by the paddocks. It appears as though the grass has been scorched since this morning.

Hi list,

Finally, after many false starts, lots of planning/procrastinating, and then time questioning how it looked, etc, I have uploaded my first attempt at a webpage to:

http://www.users.bigpond.com/g-man1/

Please feel free to have a squiz and pass any criticisms or comments my way. I have just used Microsoft Publisher to construct the page, and I hope it is only the beginning. I will gradually add some more images and reports to the page, along with constructing a photo album. Any tips will be much appreciated, and I'd like to add links to others' personal pages who use this list. Please let me know if you have any serious objections to this. Oh, and I hope the page isn't too slow to open or anything like that.

Cheers

Andrew Godsman

Very Good first Attempt ther andrew,

With a bit more time you will be able to develop it more.

On a side Note My Webpage will under go somemore development over the next few days as i have got the time to do it.

Some new photos of that severe storm on 3/10/01 and some pics from last friday, where the convection really tried to start but alas NOTHING, still it should be worthwhile to look at them. Also a new Structure will be written to be more like http://www.australiasevereweather.com/ with its format (picture gallery, storm reports. Rather than the way it it now)

Subject: aus-wx: My Web Page

Hi list,

Finally, after many false starts, lots of planning/procrastinating, and then time questioning how it looked, etc, I have uploaded my first attempt at a webpage to:

http://www.users.bigpond.com/g-man1/

Please feel free to have a squiz and pass any criticisms or comments my way. I have just used Microsoft Publisher to construct the page, and I hope it is only the beginning. I will gradually add some more images and reports to the page, along with constructing a photo album. Any tips will be much appreciated, and I'd like to add links to others' personal pages who use this list. Please let me know if you have any serious objections to this. Oh, and I hope the page isn't too slow to open or anything like that.

Cheers

Andrew Godsman

You will need a program to download the wx data. I use a perl script, but that may be a bit difficult in windows. Maybe someone who knows Windows programming could knock one up? Anyway If someone wants to see my program, give me an email and I'll send it and it's data file through to you. You will have to edit the command line options to get it to display whatever sort of globe you want. The commands are listed on the website. To get the clouds you will need to set up a scheduled job to download the clouds background file every three hours from the Xplanet website. XPlanet can then display the clouds on the globe.

The sea breeze front is sometimes marked by a line of small cumulus. It is possible form storms to develop long the sea breeze front, but you need an unstable atmosphere. The front just act as a convergence line. This will generally lead to small storms riding the front slowly inland, but if upper winds are strong enough, the cells can be pushed back seawards, breaking the inversion created by the sea breeze and taking off due to increased moisture) or dying off (due to lack of warm air to maintain convection). I haven't had a chance to look through Monday's obs, but certainly Sunday was a great sea breeze day. Light westerly till about 2pm then a 180 degree shift to an easterly coming in at 15 kts and building to 20 kts a bit later. I had a great 2 hour sail on Botany Bay in near-perfect conditions. :D Craig Arthur -----Original Message----- From: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com [mailto:aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com]On Behalf Of David Findlay Sent: Tuesday, 30 October 2001 12:34 To: aussie-weather at world.std.com Subject: Re: aus-wx: dryline (late submission) On Tue, 30 Oct 2001 09:51, thousands of scientists watched in disbelief as Harald Richter asserted this: > Without having seen the original obs, I agree with the list's consensus > that a seabreeze has worked its way inland against a (weakening?) > larger-scale westerly surface flow.

BoM uses the term "Tropical Low" to refer to a similar sort of storm. Both US and BoM give names at 35 Knots, but they have different methods of measuring the 35 Knots. At 35 Knots the US call it a "Tropical Storm" while BoM calls it a "Tropical Cyclone Cat 1" Regarding all the fruit and vegies blowing across the NWP, I think everyone here would love to go back to using "real" names, but it is politically impossible.

As an example, Brisbane Airport's highest October temps (up until yesterday) were: 39.1 (1957) 36.7 (1958) 36.6 (1971) 35.3 (1979) so any station with a similar climate that wasn't open until after 1958 (or particularly until after 1971) would have a much lower record high than a station which was open at that time. 1958 is the standout October heatwave in the record in this region (except at a few coastal sites where 1957 was hotter). 1957 was a real standout at the airport - even Amberley 'only' got to 38.3. I doubt if too many sites with a sufficient length of record will have surpassed 1957/58 this year, but 2001 has claims to rank as the hottest event in Brisbane in October since then.

In particular, for many stations in Melbourne's east, October will come in as one of the wettest Octobers on record (at least in 50 years). Among these, Scoresby with 51 years of records breaks it previous October record by ~15mm, as does Dunns Hill by a remarkable 110mm (though record is just 7 years long). Many stations in Melbourne's east easily exceeded 150mm for the month, with most stations near the ranges east of the city cracking the 200mm mark - Dunns Hill 246mm (an estimate, as one days obs were missed), Mt Dandenong (township) 241mm. My obs for Ferny Creek show 228mm. My back of the envelope estimate is that monthly rainfall totals of this magnitude are about a one in 2-5 year event for any month, and about 1 in 20-50 years for October. Still... these high values pale against October 1937 (can't say I remember it... maybe Blair does?), when rainfall in these same areas exceeded 350mm (and likely 400mm), only to be followed by the driest November in approximately 100 years. The progs hold out for a very pleasant weekend in Melbourne (mid 20s Saturday, higher 20s Sunday), then a return to cooler wetter weather next week. Some models (NOGAPS, ECMWF) are suggesting the possibility of further significant rain in the SE next week as the cloud over southern WA interacts with a substantial mid/upper level trough next week, but this is a long long way into the future. Regards, David PS Jane, had hoped to make it to this month's meeting, but something has cropped up and won't be able to make it.

Sorry for this, but I just got an email from a Danny Koutoulas and it is infected with the win32/SirCam virus. I do not know this person, and this is about the only place that I could think that this email address is on. I tried to email him and tell him but the email was returned due to his server being full.
