Howdy all.
Excellent storm here this arvo - lightning, thunder, strong - very
strong winds. I had 30.2mm of rain in 12 minutes - decent localised
flooding in the estate I live in - was excellent.
The best part was how the storm arrived. Great gust front, with
cumuliform lip cloud rolling over, sudden quietness, and then these
amazing showers of rain that you could hear coming - big fat splaty
drops that lasted like 3 seconds - then proceeded up the street in
sheets that were quite visible.
Then the wind hit blowing palm trees etc causing them to bend
sufficiently. Then the rain hit - like the sounds of an express train.
Storm had low level scud cloud scurrying along in the downdrafts at
the front of the storm. Was one of the better daytime ones I have
seen whilst here. Very photogenic - not embedded - this was the
storm that I reported earlier seeing the boiling updrafts and showed
pink on radar.
Paul at Darwin.

Hi all,
Clyve Herbert from Victoria phoned me to talk about warm air lightning,
RE discussion from the aus-wx list. He asked if I could put a few
proposals forth as a possibly explanation to 'warm air lightning.'
1) Occassionally you can have "loop lightning", this can be generated
near the core of the thunderstorm, and move quite a distance from the
storm. Occassionally, it can even loop back, behind the thunderstorm.
On occassions, lightning can also come from the top of the Cb (anvil),
and strike a nearby Congestus Cu (possibly on its flanking line), and
that will travel right through to the ground. Clyve proposed this for a
few cases where it does appear lightning may be coming from a congesting
Cu, which is quite possible if you're looking at the storm from certain
angles.
2) A theoretical concept here...in places such as Darwin/Brisbane where
moisture content is generally high throughout the atmosphere - one would
expect less evaporation in the cloud. Whereas frequently southern
states would have very dry air aloft, hence a lot of evaporation could
take place. Some of this evaporation also consists of supercooled water
droplets. The proposal here is, is it possibly that high evaporation
rates could actually cause the supercooled water droplets (and other
water droplets), to evaporate, thus stunt the static build up charge
process? Where as, in areas of high moisture content (and also
frequently high CAPE's), the evaporation does not take place as readily
in congesting Cu's. Hence, the static build up charge is still able to
build up.
However - on Wednesday, we had extremely dry air above us - so I
proposed the following in reply to Clyve's ideas:
That even in Congesting Cu's (ie warm air clouds), that hail/graupel can
form in the upper reaches. This is clearly evident by the reasonably
frequent occassions when southern states (particularly during winter),
can get small hail from congesting Cu's. Occassionally, they're
lightning active, even without glaciation. Even in Brisbane, we have
had Congesting Cu give hail - I remember a few years ago (~95/96?) that
Brisbane had morning hail in some of the suburbs from congesting Cu.
This occurred at around 4/5am I think - and I believe there was some
sizable falls (up to 6 inches or more of marble sized hail!) This was
all from Congestus (so the weather bureau said on the news, and on the
diagrams they drew, there certainly was no anvil!) James will probably
be able to give a better account of this.
So - in this, is it possible that some congesting Cu, can infact bulld
up fairly large quantities of hail/graupel that does assist in the
static build up charge process?
It could also possibly be a combination of the above, each having
differing effects of the situation.
Any feedback would be much appreciated :)

Hi Jacob
Could you tell me what the minimum temperatures have been over the same
period?
How long has the temperature stayed above 20C?
I've moved a bit closer to the coast in Sydney, and a bit lower in
altitude, and have noticed that i've been getting minimum temperatures
above 20 more often (which i kind of expected), although that may be due to
fairly cloudy conditions so far this summer.
In comparison to your summer, I've only had a few days over 30 so far, and
sydney city failed to reach 30 in december(the top temp was only 26.6 i think)

Adding my 2 cents worth. As I
understand it, it is in fact the 2,000 odd thunderstorms which are in progress
at any one time which keeps the ionosphere charged to this potential. They
are the "pump", i.e., electrostatic generators. It is the "upside
down" flashes out of the top of a storm which charge the ionosphere, and which
occur when the anvil becomes sufficiently highly charged.
I agree with Paul, you need friction to
separate charge (i.e., strip electrons), and conventionally either two
insulators in friction or an insulator (dielectric) and an insulated
conductor. Dry ice (i.e., not "wet") fills the bill for an
insulator very nicely, as does dry air. Put a lot of tiny
water droplets (mist) in cold air and you have small conductors in an
insulated medium. Ice (i.e., hail) falling through such an an updraft
would create just the friction and hence charge separation process
required. Also lets not forget that water is conductive by virtue
of ions created by dissolved salts, pure water (distilled) is only
sparingly conductive, thus it may be possible for large water droplets falling
through an updraft to produce a similar but weaker effect.
Add to this gross movement of air
parcels. Once a parcel becomes charged (or should we say the tiny water
droplets (mist) suspended in the parcel), this will be transported around the
cloud as the air parcel is subjected to rising, falling or latitudinal (through
wind shear) moments. Evidence suggests that most CG's occur when a
large parcel of charged air descends towards the ground, increasing field
strength until breakdown occurs. I havn't done the math to
see if it is significant, but there would also be an attractive
force due to the potential, which may act to accelerate a charged downward
moving parcel of air.
Warm air can hold a lot of moisture and
become quite conductive, sufficiently so that charge leaks away faster than
it can build. I suspect this is the primary reason why lightning is absent
in strongly turbulent but warm clouds or heavy rain clouds in the
tropics. I am sure we have all observed better and more "crackly"
lightning on days when there is cold dry air aloft, or in inland situations when
the air is hot and very dry.
I was taught (yea many years ago) that the
essence of the scientific method is observation. Therefore one of
the best ways to understand a process is to observe it.... so bring
on the storms....
John.
>snip
..... and ice, being less conductive
than water, allows the charge to accumulate. Water simply allows the charge to
leak away - as you'll know lightning doesn't like rain. When electrons are
stripped off atoms the atoms become more positively charged and the surplus of
electrons are pooled to form a negatively charged region. I don't know if the
glaciation process and movement of ice through a cloud is sufficient by
itself, mind. Again there's a +225kv battery up there, called the
ionosphere...

Looks like something interesting building off the Qld Coast midway between
that cyclone between Fiji and Noumea and at a guess - Cairns? Seems to have
a double centre whatever it is.
Any takers?

Good stuff! The dielectric constant for water is ~ .93 or nearly unity
while that for ice is ~ .19. So, ice is much less conductive, as Les says.
This not only represents the conductivity of these but it also it is, in
part, why water is so much better as a reflector/re-radiator of radar
microwaves energy than is snow.

Sydney's top temperature in December was just 26.8 on 8th. 24 of the 31
days were below normal including all from 17th to the end.
Fsailing to reach 30 in December is rare. It last happened in 1992 and
before that in 1986, 1978 and then back in 1952. Failing to reach 28 is
een rarer. It last happened in December 1860 when the top temp was 27.9.
Failing to reach 27 - that's never happened before.
The average max was the lowest since 1960 but even then the top for the
month was 31.7 on 27th.
Brisbane, of course, went one better. Their mean max in December of 26.4
smashed their previous lowest ever of 27.3 in 150, 1962 and 1963 and
their ave min of 17.7 was also the lowest ever for December - the
previous being 18.4 in 1963 and 1983 but at least they reached 30 twice
- on 29th and 31st.

Hi all,
JTWC has recognised the disturbance near Vanuatu to be a Tropical
Cyclone! JTWC is forecasting it to move eastwards (noooooo!), but is
yet to have it show much intensity, it currently has sustained winds of
40kn, and gusts to 50kn. JTWC forecasts this to increase to sustained
of 50kn, and gusts to 65kn in the next 36-48hrs.
Although Fiji is yet to recognise it, still referring to it as a
Tropical Depression (05F) - with winds of 35kn sustained.
I'm also watching (and I'm sure many others are too!), that low closer
to the QLD coast.

Hi all,
This is a general announcement to all members of ASWA to mention that I will
be away for 6 weeks photographing lightning in the Kimberley.
It is because of this that I will be un-subcribing to the aussie weather list
for the period and that the web master email will redirect to Greg Spencer,
who is filling in for me while I am away.
If you have any questions, can you please direct them to me off the list
before tomorrow afternoon.
Kind regards and I hope you all get a storm that you want.

Hey All
Looks like Melbourne is finally going to get a good taste of summer. A
summer that of late, has been on holidays. All the models, ngp, MRF and GASP
predict a persistent northerly flow until at least Friday. Also of interest
is the trough that will persist in the area, providing the trigger for
hopefully a week of storms. If the NE flow persists plenty of moisture will
be draw down over Vic :-)
Well after weeks of below average temperatures it will be nice to get some
hot wx. Beach here I come!!!
P.S - I have just moved to Clayton South, in the SE suburbs of mebourne.

Hi all!
Well, what a night it was! The Cu was building up all evening,
continually getting smaller as the night went on! Eventually, just
before 12am, it was nearly totally overcast, and the heavens opened up!
First it was a very fine mist drizzle, this sent the ants into a flurry,
as they sand-grained their nests in a bid to stop the rising dew! Then
the winds came, up to 500 decametres/hr!!! The poor bacteria in the air
didn't have a chance as they were brutally belted against windows and
trees. Even leaves didn't stand a chance, violently swaying a few
millimetres in the wind. The torrential drizzle continued to get
heavier, the sand grains were barely holding - the wind was still
howling at 500decamtres/hr...then, just when it was almost over - the
rain went to such an intensity, that it was a once in a 336hr event!!!!
The sand grains gave way, and the ants experienced incredible very minor
flooding! If the rain had only been another 50 times heavier, the
gutters would have overflowed!!!
The morning aftermath said it all - with destruction at a near
non-totality, and a record unbreaking 3.1mm.
Even last Wednesday's storms hasn't cured my SDS!!!

Hi Paul,
Wish i was there, great description, i agree with Les. Have you read
the book Maestro, great descriptions in that too.
Anyway, i went to Darwin last summer to witness the same sought of
thing. I was there from around christmas to very early January and was
extremely dissapointed, a broad monsoon trough was stationary just to the
north, where it stayed the whole bloody time. Rain and overcast conditions
persisted with quite srong northwesterly breezes. All promising cells it
seemed dissapated into broad stationary areas of light rain, heavier if in
the morning. I did notice more significant developments to the south but yet
again, no lighting or thunder observed
Is this normal or was it just due to a very well developed monsoon
influence, perhaps the result of the cyclone (i forget the name)that
battered Darwin earlier that month. I think i might of been there a bit
late, for that season anyway. It seems a lot better this year and lets hope
again next year as i shall return. If you have any info, particularly on
last years season i would really appreciate it. I am pretty sure it was just
bad luck, i dont know. I never really understood the weather up there, i
better learn though!
Cheers, REGARDS
JAMES (WHITSUNDAYS)new to the list.

Certainly looks like Melbourne is in for some summer eather but the
absence of significant upper level winds will probably be a bit of a
dampner for storm chasers.

Hey James - thanx for your kind words. No I havnt read the book
Maestro but I will now :-).
I was also in Darwin last dec but earlier on (through TC Thelma).
was a great experience.
I rang the BOM on Friday to talk about the apparent lack of
monsoonal activity. They expect a pulse of monsoonal activity
starting this weekend and increasing into next week.
Its true that when you have a very active monsoonal trough then
there will be alot of rain/cloud because of the air masses
combining.
At the moment we have a weak trough developing just of the Coast -
which allows any convection enough instability to continue onto
heavy mosoonal storms that drift across any time of the day.
Yesterdays storm as I found out developed within a weak trough
located inland that drifted onto the coast in the afternoon.
The postulation that most storms occur here are embedded is
somewhat of a overexaggeration - the ones I have experienced here
lately have been just like any other storm BUT for the exception
that because we dont have decent jet action aloft and even less in
the lower atmosphere - any anvils that form tend to slowly drift
wherever the prevailing upper winds are heading - this often gives
an impression that these storms are embedded - because you can
experience 1 - 2hours of drifting anvil before you get the main stuff -
rather like a frontal storm in Southern areas.
However - alot of the night storms that we get are embedded
because of the high levels of humidity at night - and the warm
temps.
Saying this there are more storms now forming to the east - which
is where action occurs when the trough is just off the Coast. After
developing they then head seawards as the trough tends to wander
a little further out to sea at the end of the day - and back in early
morning.
If you do come to darwin please let me know - we can catch up
and do some chasing (or any other person coming to paradise as
well!).
Paul.
Ps just heard some massive rumbles of thunder - better check
radar
:-D

To answer Anthonys question, yes, that would be the one . And to answer
pauls, no you have nothing to worry about. Lets just say the book is
basically about a teenager growing up in Darwin. One line that i distinctly
remember and probably always will is the description of Darwin as being "The
city of booze, blow and blasphemy" There are heaps more, maybe Anthony
might know, i should try and locate it in the school archives back in Syd.
(OR MAYBE NOT!)

REMARKS:
080900Z7 POSITION NEAR 16.6S3 73.0E0.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 04S (BABIOLA), LOCATED
APPROXIMATELY 1000 NM
EAST-NORTHEAST OF MAURITIUS, HAS TRACKED WEST-
SOUTHWESTWARD AT 13
KNOTS OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION
IS BASED UPON
080530Z6 VISIBLE AND INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE
WARNING
INTENSITY IS BASED UPON CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES
OF 65 AND 77
KNOTS. ANIMATED VISIBLE AND INFRARED IMAGERY DEPICT
INCREASING
CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT HAS FORMED A BANDING EYE.
SYNOPTIC ANALYSIS
SHOWS THAT THE STRONGER WINDS REMAIN WEST AND
SOUTHWEST OF THE LOW-
LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). THE STRONG
CONVERGENCE IN THIS AREA
IS ASSOCIATED WITH A CONVECTIVE BAND WHICH WRAPS INTO THE
NORTHWEST QUADRANT OF THE SYSTEM. UW-CIMSS CHARTS AND THE 200 MB
ANALYSIS SHOW THAT OUTFLOW OVER TC 04S (BABIOLA) HAS IMPROVED DURING
THE PAST 12 HOURS. TC 04S (BABIOLA) IS FORECAST TO TRACK WEST-
SOUTHWESTWARD THROUGH THE 36 HOUR POINT UNDER
THE STEERING INFLUENCE
OF THE MID-LEVEL SUBTROPICAL RIDGE SITUATED TO ITS
SOUTH. AFTER THE
36 HOUR POINT, TC 04S (BABIOLA) IS EXPECTED TO TRACK
MORE WESTWARD
AS THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE BUILDS NORTHWEST TOWARD
THE NORTHEAST COAST
OF MADAGASCAR. TC 04S (BABIOLA) IS EXPECTED TO
INTENSIFY AT A NEAR
CLIMATOLOGICAL RATE THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD.
MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT
WAVE HEIGHT AT 080600Z4 IS 18 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT
082100Z1 (DTG
081951Z4) AND 090900Z8 (DTG 090751Z2). REFER TO

Hi Paul,
Jason Bush is currently in Perth - he has been visiting his parents for
the Christmas/New Year break. I believe he'll be returning back to
Karratha soon. Not sure about Keith.

Hell!!! Wish I was there, 0.0mm in my rain guage and not even an ant to be
seen with sand grain in hand (maybe coz I ain't got no sand and ants ain't
got no hands, ha ha).
But I had a chat to the big green tree frog on the front porch and asked him
(it??) when it was gonna rain, and he said.... nufin. He was so still I
thought he might have croaked (ha ha), but no he was just bored croakless.

Hi all!
Well, what a night it was! The Cu was building up all evening,
continually getting smaller as the night went on! Eventually, just
before 12am, it was nearly totally overcast, and the heavens opened up!
First it was a very fine mist drizzle, this sent the ants into a flurry,
as they sand-grained their nests in a bid to stop the rising dew! Then
the winds came, up to 500 decametres/hr!!! The poor bacteria in the air
didn't have a chance as they were brutally belted against windows and
trees. Even leaves didn't stand a chance, violently swaying a few
millimetres in the wind. The torrential drizzle continued to get
heavier, the sand grains were barely holding - the wind was still
howling at 500decamtres/hr...then, just when it was almost over - the
rain went to such an intensity, that it was a once in a 336hr event!!!!
The sand grains gave way, and the ants experienced incredible very minor
flooding! If the rain had only been another 50 times heavier, the
gutters would have overflowed!!!
The morning aftermath said it all - with destruction at a near
non-totality, and a record unbreaking 3.1mm.
Even last Wednesday's storms hasn't cured my SDS!!!
