One question for those Weather21 viewers, Mark Hardy or Michael Thompson - have you ever seen a Jetstream like the one shown on Wednesday with the 2 splits and the "dog leg" kink? Was very interesting to see. Although we have had some rain, total for June is still well below the monthy average - Im hoping that further falls "bumps" the total up to the average.

That is a high latitude "high" and a cut off "low" to the north. The northern split of the jet supports the low and the southern leg supports the blocking high.

Try looking up ImageMagick from the "E.I. du Pont De Nemours and Company Incorporated. Their utility called "convert" may well handle this format in later versions. Binaries are available for a variety of O/S's and windowing systems but in the light of your requirement, I don't hold out much hope since Win95 was released in 1995 and it is 1999 with WIN2000 just released (or whatever).

I met with the bank here and my request got them running around a lot. Basically, I asked "what is the least expensive way for someone overseas to deposit money into ASWA's account". The Easiest & Least Expensive: When you come to Oz, pay us here in cash. The Easiest & Least Expensive from anywhere: Use your credit card in the 'net. Problem is, that is not supported by the bank (yet). Also, our status as a non-profit organisation prohibits ASWA from setting up a Merchant Facility i.e. so ASWA can bill credit cards. That's presently only available to businesses. My request got them thinking about a new product though. The Next Most Expensive from UK: Australian Dollar Money Order. Check with your bank and/or Royal Post Office. Westpac's Bank Option: Westpac only has commercial banks in the UK. No retail unfortunately. Their retail affilliate is LLoyds Bank in London. They might be able to raise an Australian Dollar Money Order. Forget telegraphic transfer, that is too expensive.

I was trying to consider only those options which cost ASWA $0, then only the smallest fee if we had lots of international members (credit card Tx) etc. Each option has a different cost to the international sender with Credit Card being almost nil, personal cheque (which I discounted as it costs ASWA at least $7) being almost nil, international money order (which costs differently according to the agent), travellers cheque (which have minimums and need an air-ticket) winding up with a telegraphic transfer which might cost almost as much as the ASWA membership. It might be a good idea for Les to check various options with LLoyds and report back to us.

That same set shows the 540 thickness line crossing the southwest corner of WA on Monday. Fine and cool (around 7 degrees C) in Christchurch this evening, but a thin layer of high cloud, plus a halo around the moon. That must be sign of the approaching southerly blast due to hit early tomorrow.

Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com Hi all! Has anyone checked out the AVN raw data site??? It now forecasts CAPE!!!! This is what we've been waiting for AGES!!!! I have no idea how accurate they are, as I've only just seen them myself. For those who don't know the URL, it is: http://sgi62.wwb.noaa.gov:8080/cgi-bin/disp_avn.sh?ctlfile=avn_06Z.ctl&ptype=map&var=LFTX&level=1000&nlevels=16&op1=none&op2=none&hour=06Z&day=7&month=jun&year=1999&proj=custom&lon0=140&dlon=20&lat0=-33&dlat=20&type=shaded&cint=def&white=def&plotsize=800x600&title= Choose your dataset, and tick the box that says "variable and definition units" and you'll see "CAPE" - click that, and then do the same as you would for LI's (choose Australia) or use a lat/long No more CAPE forecasts drawn by hand using skew-t's! Although it is useful for determining cap strengths/heights Anthony Cornelius +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ To unsubscribe from aussie-weather send e-mail to:majordomo at world.std.com with "unsubscribe aussie-weather your_email_address" in the body of your message. -----------------------jacob at iinet.net.au------------------------------
