morning all,

Wollongong 6:40am EST,
Cold Sw winds blowing this morning, with snow a distinct possibility on the Illawarra Escarpment if the wind turns a little E of S. A few photogenic coldies off the coast east of Nowra looked good. But definately snow in the air.

Waiting for the winds to turn with the development of the ECL off the far NSW south coast.

Blackheath: Wednesday 8:50am

Temp -1

Light snow has been pretty much continual since 6:30am this morning.
It's interesting snow, as its very small, like polystyrene (sp?) beads
out of a bean bag, say only a few mm at most in size. Only a light
accumulation at this stage.

It's a little heavier now as I look out the window.

Thanks for the road reports Dave, we appreciate it.

Hi to all,                                             9.30am 16/8/00
       Recovering from 21st celebrations i was a good 1 Hour late for work, 
soon to be 2 Hours when noticing the nice looking towers off the coast. By 
this stage i was approaching Bondi and had a fairly good idea that what i 
would see wouldnt dissapoint!
      With an air temp of around 8 degrees and a nice cold pool of air in 
the upper layers the cb's i saw couldnt be your usual. Although fairly 
small, they had very well defined high bases with a very nice curtain of 
rain behind them and a developing anvil, which i might add has moved in a 
westward direction since(11am). With hopes up high i purchased a camera in a 
dodgey convience store across the road(lets hope it works!)and continued to 
wait for any developments. At around 9.45am the first of a funnel shaped 
column emerged from the storms northern base followed by a further 3 more in 
a line behind it. Unfortunately this storm (or storms) was/were a little too 
far out to guarantee all 4 spouts, Definately 1 though!
      Anyway, film is getting developed as i speak. Will put photos up on 
the list this evening.
      I must confess that the AGM has inspired me to be patient and pay alot 
more attention to whats going on, special thanks to Clive, Jane, Jimmy and 
Anthony as well as to all those with inspiring stories-all of u!!
      COULD BE AN INTERESTING ARVO, SQUALLY SHOWERS ON THE WAY.
REGARDS
JAMES P.
IN A FROZEN SYDNEY.

Wollongong 1136 EST

Actually some nice mamma clouds going over just to the east of
Wollongong at the moment, from a few coldies over the sea by the looks
of the radar.

I fear that the low has choofed off to the east too quickly taking any
action Wollongong or the escarpment might have got with it.

Blackheath: Wednesday 11:15am (Written off-line)

Temp: 3

Winds: light southerly

The snow that fell across the Blue Mountains this morning seemed to be
heavier at Katoomba than here, even though we are roughly a hundred
metres higher in Blackheath. I guess that's not surpising considering
the more southward direction of the wind.

My partner caught the train to work and confirmed there was more snow on
the ground in Katoomba, at least that which she could see from the
station. As she arrived at Wentworth Falls station and walked up to the
Grammar School, she was hit by "Quite moderate to heavy snow, blowing
into my eyes and making it very hard to see." She also said that
Wentworth Falls had as much snow on the ground as Blackheath did, maybe
even more. She grew up in a family of doctors and scientists, so, she's
pretty good at making careful observations.

Maybe there was some credibility in the Channel Nine report this morning
(during the Today Show) that the snow was "Teeming down" in the Blue
Mountains. At least, it may have for a short period, in the areas I
mentioned but not here in Blackheath.

Cheers,


Lindsay Pearce

Yesterday was cold to very, Cold Air Cbs where everywhere, very heavy 
showers and small hail. Typical winters day here in Ballarat, close to 
snowing, but no cigar.

No people:

Is a Cold Air Cell a true Thunderstorm????? Or is it just a large Cu tower; 
congestous, that gets a bit to top heavy and a weak updraft, and as it falls 
over forms a "anvil" apearance?

To the folks from the US of A, do you people get Cold Air Cbs??

Just a small question. If buildings were made of something really strong and
copped no apparent damage then what good would the Fujitsu scale be? How
would we know then that a tornado or whatever has been through? Not very
likely to happen, but anything is possible I suppose.

Wollongong 1:50pm EST

Getting quite dark again along the coastal fringe. Winds picking up from the
S and getting quite strong and gusting. It will be interesting to have a
look at the radar and MSL analysis to see how far down the coast this ECL
formed. It may have been a little further north than first anticipated if
the wind direction is any guide. Finally, if the winds turn a fraction more
to come with a bit of E in it we should get some rain for Michael T's lawns
this afternoon.

All hale the start of the cricket season!!

I guess it's a good day to be under a roof in Melbourne but the other
day would have been better I'd reckon.

Not everything would be undamaged.  If the structures are engineered, then
knowing what was *not* damaged or moved will help wind engineers to
determine the wind speed.  But, if there is one structure and it is solidly
built and engineered, and goes undamaged, then you could determine a
maximum upper bound speed.

More often than not, tornadoes in the plains may pass over brush land, hay,
or wheat.  Then it is simply listed with having an "unknown" intensity.

The forecast for the next 7 days in Adelaide sounds better than was expected 
yesterday, basically the possibilty of a shower or showers every day!  
Tomorrow sounds like the possible shower could tend to light rain.  Anyway 
you never know the forecast will probably change again, for the worse.  
Although early next week sounds good with showers becoming widespread.

The most recent GASP and EC runs both look quite interesting for 
around Monday/Tuesday next week, both with cold air pushing well
north, although they disagree about the evolution of the sequence 
(GASP is a fairly conventional cold outbreak, EC develops into a 
sprawling low over SE Australia). Both scenarios should be good for
the already exceptional ski season.

Hi Bussy.
The Fujita scale is based on  American building standards and as no building
could ever match this standard to 100%, i.e due to variations in materials
etc ,even two lengths of timber from the same tree can vary in strengths
,but never the less the Fujita scale is as good as we can get  to estimate
building resistance strengths and from which we can estimate wind speeds. In
respect to designing a building to withstand an F5 tornado the cost to the
builder would be prohibitive (unless we live underground) or if we design a
building with the structure of a Sherman tank ....even a Sherman tank can be
trashed by an F5 tornado!. regards Clyve H

  Taken this morning at around 9.45am from Bondi on wed 16/08/00.

    Please excuse the Bad scanning job. Need a website also!!!!
Unfortunately only one of the water spouts can be seen. The photos are only 
slightly clearer and even then thanx to the dodgey camera are hard to see.  
The problem with this storm was the fact that it was too far out to sea 
meaning that no-one really noticed it, cgs were evident if you watched it 
closely and if you decided to watch even closer you would have seen the 
water spouts which were really only visible for around five minutes. No 
media coverage i dont think, just not as close and exciting as previous 
ones............
    The afternoon weather here was probably more exciting, it sure did close 
in!!!

ENJOY

I live in North Katoomba & awoke around 7:45 am Wednesday to find around
2 cms of snow covering my garden / even more on the car & covering the
trees as there was no wind. It was zero degrees. From around 8:15 am it
was literally a blizzard of snow. Very heavy snow fell for around 15
minutes, it was small fine flakes but allot of them. The thing that
surprises me was how quickly it melted away after it stopped. By 9:30
most of the snow had melted away.

Howdy all.

Just wondering what the upcoming season holds for us all.

Looking back at the last 12 months - the abscence of Severe TS 
last summer down south, a 9th Decile wet here - but lack of TC 
activity, very busy TC season for NW WA, very wet QLD Summer.

What do YOU think will happen this summer? 

PS Has anyone noticed the lack of Major hurricanes in the US 
season this year! That or the media isnt bothered anymore - which 
I doubt. Just seems curious - they had a very busy seaosn last 
year - wonder if this could reflect here - very active & busy 
supercell, tornadoe hits Sydney CBD type season?

                 WINTER-TIME ANTARCTIC VOYAGE TO THE
                        MERTZ GLACIER POLYNYA

                           Neil J Holbrook

                  Department of Physical Geography
             Division of Environmental and Life Sciences

                   E-mail: Neil.Holbrook at mq.edu.au

In this presentation, I will discuss my experiences as an invited
participating oceanographer aboard the RSV Aurora Australis during the
1999 winter-time voyage near the Antarctic coast associated with the
Mertz Glacier Polynya Experiment.  The Mertz Glacier Polynya is in the
vicinity of 66.5o-67oS, 145oE.  The term "polynya" describes a "lake" in
the ice (or similar).  Aside from the oceanographic component of the
Experiment, there were various other science programs on the voyage
including sea ice, sea ice and ocean thermal radiation, meteorology,
zooplankton/krill, phytoplankton/bacteria, dimethyl sulphide, whales,
seals, penguins, and birds.  The main programs were the oceanography and
sea ice programs, while the other components were "piggy back" programs
(i.e., mostly opportunistic time on the voyage, rather than being
allocated dedicated time).

The interest for the oceanography program was understanding the production
rates of Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) formation and its contribution to
the large (global) scale thermohaline circulation and climate.  AABW is
formed at various locations around the perimeter of the Antarctic continent
under certain conditions and is the densest water in the world oceans.  It
has a temperature close to the freezing point of sea water (at the given
salinity), between -1.8C and -1.9C and has a salinity of about 34.65 parts
per thousand (or practical salinity units (psu)). The Mertz Glacier Polynya
was considered to be an important source of AABW, with expected maximum
formation rates during winter-time.  The importance of AABW is to ventilate
the deep ocean with oxygen (making the abyss more oxygenated than it would
otherwise be, important for biology), and to contribute to the large scale
thermohaline circulation, important for climate.

Synopsis of Neil Holbrook's background
======================================

Neil is a physical oceanographer and has been a lecturer in atmospheric
science at Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia, since January 1996.
He completed his undergraduate degree at the University of Sydney (1986-88)
majoring in applied mathematics and marine sciences (physical oceanography)
and completed his Honours year in physical oceanography in 1989. He then
spent two months as a vacation scholar at the CSIRO Division of 
Oceanography in Hobart, working with Andrew Forbes.  After working for a 
year as a research assistant for Prof Matthias Tomczak during 1990, Neil 
commenced a PhD at the University of Sydney in physical oceanography in 
1991.Dr Nathan Bindoff from the Antarctic CRC, at the University of 
Tasmania, Hobart, was the primary influence on his PhD project and Neil has 
continued to actively collaborate with Nathan since the completion of his 
PhD in 1994.

After completion of his PhD, and prior to commencing as a lecturer at
Macquarie University, Neil worked as a postdoctoral researcher for Prof Ann
Henderson-Sellers in the Climatic Impacts Centre at Macquarie University
between October 1994 and January 1996.  During this time, Neil was also
fortunate to be able to spend 3 months at the National Center for 
Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, working with Dr Bob 
Chervin.  Neil is an Honorary Research Associate in the Institute of 
Antarctic and Southern Ocean Studies, University of Tasmania.  Neil is also 
a committee member (and past-Chair, 1998-99) of the Australian 
Meteorological and Oceanographic Society Sydney Centre.

The latest (00z) GASP continues to support the outbreak, so it's not a
one-run wonder. At 00z Wednesday, it has a cold pool <528 over eastern
Victoria, with 536 thickness and -2 850 temp well into northern NSW,
and plenty of precipitation across NSW and Vic, presumably from the
pre-frontal NWlys. 

The latest (00z) MRF for Tuesday adds support, with strong ridging
well south of Tasmania and -3 to -6 850 temps surging across southern
WA/SA behind a 980hPa low west of Tasmania.
