Hi all,
I must say that I did thoroughly enjoy myself! It was an memorable experience
meeting many new people, putting faces + characters to the names on the list, and
not to mention talking to some of the Australian storm chasing 'greats' of
Australia!
I hope that people will containue to make the effort to attend all future AGM's, I
know that I'll personally be attending many more.
I did the minutes at the AGM, however I've spent 14hrs in a car/on the road - and
I'm rather tired right now, so they'll be done in the morning. My apologies for
this!
Jimmy is quite right though, everyone was interacting with each other as if they
had known each other for years. I'm looking forward to the 'end of year chase' to
meet up with everyone again.
Thanks to Michael Bath for his very friendly hospitallity on Friday night, and to
everyone in Sydney who organised the AGM.

Heavy frost in Blackheath on Monday morning!
Ice is covering trees some four metres above the ground. The whole area
is white, very white at 6:30 this morning.
We only had a minimum of zero at my station (one of the highest places
in the area - so we don't get much below say -2, -3,) but the day before
I recorded a max of 7.5 under the influence of a chilly southerly wind.
Overnight, it was very still and reached near zero very quickly.
Reckon the hollows around here got much colder than Zero though. The
frost down there would be insane, I'd reckon.

Also cold in Adelaide! My outside thermometer was just below 0 at 7.15am.
Ice on the ground. When I tried to hose off some of my more tender plants
to prevent frost damage, I found that the hose was frozen solid too!
I'd expect the oficial minimum tem to come in at the +1, +2 degree range.

Hi Anthony, Michael,
Indeed very interesting. Central Africa looks like the place to be, what a
blast! It would be interesting to get a month by month picture to see when
and how the activity peaks. Interesting also is how quiet SW WA is, so
while they may get a relatively large number of coldies - there is little
in the way of intense thunderstorms.
John.

A very interesting little map you found all the same. Interesting to note
is
how the yellow of SE Australia extends seaward some kilometres, which kind
of reinforces what I thought for many years. Also that there is a patch of
higher activity in line with approx the NW slopes of NSW / Darling Downs -
interesting for our EOY storm chase.
The Amazon is not as ' hot ' as I would have thought, but the medium - high
activity extends well down into almost Patagonia, I have always thought
that
the border areas of Argentina / Paraguay must get tornadoes.
Michael

John,
If you have a look at the Quicktime movie available on the site
at http://thunder.msfc.nasa.gov/otd/images/yr_ltg_map.qt
you get a month by month by month breakdown of storms.
It is impressive to see the relatively rapid switch in
storm activity between hemispheres as the respective
summers commence.
Also SW WA looks more impressive during the few months
of their storm season (winter) than when masked by
being totalled across a twelve month period.
The site is certainly an interesting find.
Another fine day in Canberra after a cool start at
minus 6.
Patrick

With corrected translation of;

27. July 1999: Thunderstorm within Bereich des Saxetentales
(Saxententales Area/Municipality/Province).
The Canyoning misfortune near Interlaken in Bernese within
nearby mountainous country was caused by a thunderstorm,
which unloaded itself between 16 and 17 o'clock over the
upper Bereich des Saxetentales. The following picture
is a magnified window from a larger radar image. This
shows the radar-estimated rain total between 16 and 17
o' clock. "light blue" means a rain total of 10-20 mm, and
"dark-blue", a rain total of 20-40 mm means. Rain totals of
this order of magnitude within one hour are by no means
rare, are always local and reoccur with thunderstorms.
With this thunderstorm the water collected itself very
fast in the valley soil. This finally led to sudden and
catastrophic swelling of the Saxetenbaches.
The example shows outstanding possibilities for the
monitoring strong precipitation using weather radar.
Despite the quite large distance between the accident
region and the ETH radar (approx. 100 km), the thunderstorm
was well defined. Radar measurements can be used to derive
short period forecasts and warnings in basically and
practically "real time". When available, weather radar
can therefore contribute to avoid similar disasters.
---
Note: trouble with the translation of local terms
(perhaps slang) of;
1) "eindr�cklich die hervorragenden" and
2) "�hnliche Ungl�cke zu vermeiden".
which mean something like;
1) "the outstanding eindruecklich" - don't know "eindr�cklich".
2) "avoiding similar Ungluecke" - don't know "Ungl�cke":-(
Thus, the above is not a truely literal translation.

It was a cold night in SA, northern Victoria and much of New South
Wales. Quite a few sites got close to August records, but none that
I saw broke them. Canberra had -6, Charlottes Pass -13, Wagga -5,
Mildura -2 and Adelaide +2. Yunta Airport got -5, 1.0 off the SA
August record (and Yongala, the other traditional SA cold spot,
hadn't reported last time I checked, so there is hope yet). Another
notable SA observation was -4.0 at Roxby Downs.
Adelaide's observation is only their lowest since 1994 (a very cold
August), but is, as far as I can tell, the seventh coldest August
night in the record (combining the two Adelaide sites, which isn't
strictly valid).
It looks like the frosty spell will continue for several days.

Yongala came in with -5 rounded. August record is -6.0 I believe.

Ummmph:-( I've given up on most already made graphical MRF
stuff and lately considering giving up MRF itself due to an
extreme lack of realistic correllation 5-10 days out. That's
a bit harsh, I must admit. Anyhow, I've never had a failure
with http://www.arl.noaa.gov/ready/cmet.html where you can
roll-your-own-maps with the models available. There are
many other sites that allow this, but I have found this
one to have the bast performance from where I sit in the
internet access scheme of things. If there is any problem
with READY, it is usually found to belong to NCEP, the
owners and operators of the models and computing facilities.
The other reliable site I have found is
http://grads.iges.org/ though lately, the MRF run has had
the occasional local stuff-up. This could be due and
probably because of NCEP production of incomplete MRF
datasets. When the run is stuffed-up, it is often the
geopotential heights that suffer. When this occurs, the
COLA MRF map generation will fail. By going back to the
READY site, you not only get access to raw datasets of
particular variables, but also to NCEP model run status.
This means one can work around the occasional NCEP
stuff-up.

Thanks for that, Blair. I hoped that was the answer since I
translated these phrases as follows;
1) "Das Beispiel zeigt eindr�cklich die hervorragenden M�glichkeiten
zur Ueberwachung von Starkniederschl�gen mittels Wetterradar."
Literally translated as...
"The example shows "eindr�ckliche" the outstanding possibilities
for the monitoring of strong precipitation by means of weather
radar."
Which I translated as...
"The example shows outstanding possibilities for the monitoring
of strong precipitation using weather radar."
"eindr�cklich" might be local slang describing a group of
people or even some function of an organisation.
2) "Radarmessungen und daraus abgeleitete Kurzfristvorhersagen
und Warnungen sind grunds�tzlich praktisch in "Echtzeit" verf�gbar
und k�nnen deshalb dazu beitragen, �hnliche Ungl�cke zu vermeiden."
Literally translated as...
"Radar measurements and from it derived short period forecasts
and warnings are basically practically in " real time " available
and can therefore contribute to avoid similar "Ungl�cke"."
Which I translated as...
"Radar measurements can be used to derive short period forecasts
and warnings in basically and practically "real time". When
available, weather radar can therefore contribute to avoid
similar disasters."
Both "Disaster" and "Accident" have Formal German translations
to "Unfall" but I would say that "Ungl�cke" is a specific type
of disaster, possibly related to similar English terms such as
"Gluten" or better still "Glutton" to describe a really bad
disaster rather than just a normal one. I hope that's the
drift...
P.S. For JON. Despite long & detailed post, this took 12 mins
which is a long post in my terms:-)

Hi all,
I've had 139.1mm of rain in July, more than double the average of 62mm. I've
had a total of 1055.1mm of rain this year, the average is 1187.9mm. Although,
our NE NSW counterparts are well ahead of this!
The august average is 41mm, our second driest month (September is our driest,
with only 33mm). The records for these months are 126.3mm and 89.6mm
respectively. It'll be interesting to see if the average drying trend takes
place, or if it continues to be wet. One thing is for sure, and that's SE QLD
(and also NE NSW) will be in big trouble if we get another very wet summer.
Everything is STILL saturated.
I think it is interesting to note that the second highest rainfall record (for
a month) in Brisbane, is in June, the third is May. Could this coincide with
the fact that La Nina's effects do not generally take place until April-May of
the following year (but possibly later for Brisbane?) I'm just throwing
around some somewhat uneducated ideas around here! So if some one has any
information/suggestions, please say something! :)

Melbourne Regional Office 17.8mm for July. 9th lowest total in a
145-year record. Four of the eight lower totals (1976,1979,1982,1994)
have been in the last 25 years (and 1997 was 11th).
Lowest monthly total in SE Australia appears to be 3.6mm at
Adaminaby - although I haven't checked out the accuracy of this
total yet.

I'm sorry that the following is not directly weather-related but I have
just received, gratuitously and totally unsolicited, pornographic email
from some wacky website.
I know that it's possible for people with wheelbarrows to push or crap
to peddle, to get onto a mailing list like this and send it all over the
place (like they did here in the Kosovo war) and so I wondered whether
anyone else has been getting stuff like this. (I'm not going to put its
URL up or post a copy..the email was so offensive it nearly made me
throw up and no-one with any decency should suffer such sewage being
thrust before them.)
I hope no-one else on the list has been getting stuff like this but if
you have at least I'll know I'm not the only one.
I'm not one to visit such places on the WWW and I am extremely upset
that I have been the recipient of such rubbish.
There was no address that I could reply to, to protest..in any event
that would probably be a useless exercise. For the time being I'm going
to treat it with the usual contempt such emails and their authors
deserve.

Hey Steve, everyone..
Great stuff steve! Those loops are great! In a few more weeks it will be
very easy for you to compile these loops.. as some of you may already
know, Chris Maunder is in the process of writing a program that
automatically downloads AVN and MRF plots (or any plots from the NOAA
raw data sites).. there was also a mention of the program stringing the
plots together into an animation..
To stop the colours changing throughout the plots you can set the
"white" option to a number.. whatever number you set it to will be the
value the colour white will be.. ie - if you set "white" to 1, then the
Lifted Index values of one will be shown as the colour white.. if you
set "white" to 2, then the Lifted Index values of two will be shown as
the colour white.. If you set this option to a number then the colours
will stay the same throughout the loop..

Pardon me for putting my hapenny worth in - but pornography in any form should
be banned worldwide and the isps responsible for spreading it should be closed
down....
There are ways and means of tracing spam back to its source, then what you do
is find a hackers or warez website, download a mailbomb program and mailbomb
the b******s..... just as lamentable perhaps but seems to work ):
That usually does the trick..... for further advice post a message on a
scientific, professional or technical newsgroup for advice or icq me on
17296776, I generally lead a spam - free existance due to the above.
Unfortunately pornographic or other spam seems to be the way with the 'Net.

Hey Ben from Brisbane here..
Interesting couple of days in Brisbane.. Sunday saw a crisp backshearing
anvil in a backbuilding (backbuilding on radar) storm 200-250km's NE of
Brisbane.. as well as some great Cb off the coast on and off throughout
the day.. and the tracker getting up to 30 strikes at one stage.. sounds
pretty sad compared to the 500-600 strikes every 5 mins we get in
summer.. but hey it's winter..
Some more nice Tcu and Congestus around today at times as well.. with
some quite nice Cb complex's offshore once again.. and some lightning to
boot earlier this evening (the flashes were quite bright from the top of
Clear Mountain - NW of Brisbane)..
On another subject.. i am looking at buying a second hand camera (as the
one i have has a sticky shutter - anyone handy with camera's?).. and
while the body of the camera appears to be good, the 75-210mm zoom
apparently has mold on the lens or something.. i take it this is bad? is
it fixable/worth fixing?
The price of the camera is $195, and it comes with the zoom lens and
also a 50mm lens.. the model is a Minolta XG-A .. as i know absolutely
nothing about cameras or lenses any help that ppl can give me on this
would be much appreciated..
Nobody has a good SLR that they want to sell for a decent price do they?

Riding the push bike past Warilla beach this afternoon I was surprised to
see some impressive Cb off to the SE at an estimated 200-300km. What was
really interesting was that they actually faded off towards the NE, I
thought that the opposite would be the case.
Anyway they are not for us and with clear skies there may be frost in the
Albion Park area tomorrow morning.

Hi everyone,
The message I sent was not really an official minutes. It was more of a

Brisbane.
Also, a correction. Paul Graham is a member of the committee acting as a
