Title: New sounding location
Post by: Michael Bath on 29 April 2008, 09:59:03 AM

I'm pretty sure soundings for Nowra are new or fairly recent:

"bomw0007" for userid and "aviation" for password.

Does anyone know when this site started up ?   While on the subject of soundings - this morning's from Wagga is a very impressive airmass cooling example. The 500 temps around -32 are a record for April for that location by about 4C.

Yeah, a few of us noticed the Nowra sounding on IRC over the weekend...looks to have just appeared in the last couple of days.

That Wagga sounding is quite amazing...-32C at 500 would be impressive in mid-winter, let alone in April!
