Howdy folks,
Greetings from London. I just found out about this group (thanks Ira)
and have been having a good read. I was not aware there was so many of
you Aussie weather nuts out there. For those of you who don't know, I
left Perth at the end of March to go working and travelling round Europe
and have been having a grand time. Have been to England (obviously),
Scotland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Austria, France (2 degrees C two
weekends ago) amongst others (don't want to make you all jealous) and am
planning an Austrian snowboarding trip over christmas (some people have
the life!).
It is great to see you all in contact with each other and getting a
weather organisation happening.
I attended a Torro Autumn meeting a couple of months back and had a good
time meeting some of the weather nuts over here. The meeting was based
on Storm Chasing: How to get into it, Costs to go to the USA, what to
do, what no to do, etc. There was quite a few photos and footage
brought along. One guy showed footage of high winds in a town with the
Tornado Sirens going off. They are sooo loud!
Anyway, Torro seem's to be quite organised and have been going for a lot
of years. It may be a good idea to get some ideas off them on starting
a weather organisation.
Anyway, I miss the warm weather of Perth and spending time and chasing
with my mate Ira (G'Day dude.) Will keep in touch,
regards,
John Roenfeldt

Can you believe this. I made an enquiry about when 256km radar images will
be available for a few NSW sites. The reply indicates that the BoM expects
subscribers to fund the development! Is this crazy business or what? Sure,
slug the customer when the product is fully built, but to expect them to
pay full price for a sub standard product while they develop it is crazy.

That seems to have been the intent of the second Slatyer report. At
page 4: "The essential concepts underlying the cost recoverable group
of Bureau services are that the users must be identifiable plus the
intention that the charge should cover the direct costs associated
with provision of the service (including appropriate directly
associated overheads) but should not cover any part of the cost of
provision of the basic infrastructure; the Basic System and the Basic
Service."
Of course, the government has yet to respond, and the Bureau yet to
determine policies in regard to Slatyer's first report (March 1996) or
second report (January 1997).
Helen Pearce told me that over $1m had been spent to get the radar
product this far. I understand that the whole corpus of Queensland law
was put on the internet by the Qld govt a few months ago at a cost of
$30,000, so I am rather skeptical. It may be time to do some FOI work
on the Bureau's costing procedures!

And what has been done is agricultural.

Hi Kevin, and everyone on this list,
I've been "listening" to the list for about a week now and have decided to
stay on and use this electronic unconscious process to revive my interest
in meteorology. I am fascinated by weather and especially intrigued by
severe weather.
My story, the non laconic version: : )
I've done some training in meteorology, no formal qualifications, but I do
understand the fundamentals of meteorology and weather forecasting. My
interest has even taken me as far as touring the BOM's facilities at Kent
Town in Adelaide.
I'm an American (Californian), soon to be an Aussie citizen. and have been
in Australia for several years. Anne, my wife, and I have three children, two
sons and a daughter. Presently, I live in Paracombe, South Australia, a very
small community in the Adelaide Hills. It's too small to have a pub. : (
Nonetheless, it's a great place for weather watching! We live up on a ridge,
so we are able to watch the weather come in over the hills. Very cool!
I'm interested in 35 mm photography and would love to try photographing
some of the wonderful (bad & good) weather we have here. So, I'll need some
advice on taking weather photographs. (Hint)
Is anyone on this list from Adelaide or SA? Anyone from California?
I'll stay in touch....
Cheers,
Duane Van Schoonhoven
PS,
I'm also seeking employment in Adelaide. I have training and experience
in HF/VHF/UHF Communications, Signal Theory, Electronic Equipment
Operations, and I have some aviation training. I hold an USA Commercial
Pilot Certificate and an Australian Private Pilot Licence. I have some
retail and customer service experience. Additionally, I have excellent
computer skills. If you can assist me, please email me privately.

Anyone getting this before going to tonight's meeting, could you
please put in apologies for myself and Don White.
I am still involved in a job at Blackheath, and don't have a hope of
getting to Sydney in time. Don has been snowed under (haha) with some
extra work with firm deadlines, and also can't attend.
We're both really disappointed, as we would have liked to be in on
this from the start. Good luck, and we look forward to hearing what's
decided.

I think I am the only other American on the list, and I'm only here in a
technical role (majordomo). You should sign onto the undernet IRC channel
#weather. Theres a special aussie-weather meeting there every Wed at
8:30pm Adelaide time. Of course you are always welcome there (I'm an op on
the channel) where you can "talk" to weather fans from all over the world.

Most of you would have heard by now that 5 firefighters were killed
last night 2/12/98 in Victoria when the winds changed and turned the
fire back onto them. The wind change was indeed the result of an
approaching cold front, a cold front that had been predicted...
If there existed a system that could monitor the change in wind
direction and velocity over a particular area in real time, then this
has the potential to save lives in circumstances such as these. A less
reliable alternative is very up-to-date weather forecasts combined
with timely-advice-to-the-field.
I wonder whether people in Aussie-Weather have views or suggestions on
such matters. I was rather hoping that something like portable dopplar
radar or some other microwave system could be adapted to provide such
a role.

Hi Michael,
Do we even have Doppler radar in this country?
I've never seen any references to it ony TV report.
I do however, recall a reference from someone on the list to a "white
elephant Sydney Doppler" but can't recall who sent it.
Yours,
Kevin from Wycheproof.

Hi all,
I agree Steve, SCA has the best ring to it - I asked a few friends of
mine as well. They all agreed with SCA :)

Hello from Texas!
I just took a look at the long range sea surface temperature anomaly
maps at the CDC site:
http://www.cdc.noaa.gov/~mcp/Cecile.forecast.html
Eastern Pacific sea surface temps are forecast to exceed "normal" during
the August,
September, October 1999 time frame after being much colder than normal
during the northern hemisphere winter and spring seasons.
