Hello Everyone

Yesterday we had a southerly wind. This was a nice change, although
cold.
Because it was dry,  it was a chance to open the house to air it out.
The wind also cleared away the winter smoke haze that hangs around the
Tamar Valley. A clear day followed by a cold night with the temperature
dropping to -3C this morning. It looks like another clear day today.

Launceston Tasmania

Funny you should ask that.. someone told me while back that the upper
level systems influence the path of the jet.. but i'm not 100% sure if
that's right or not.. I wouldn't mind knowing the answer for this, i can
put it on my 500's page..

On another subject, i was toying with the idea that we also have both
short wave and long wave surface troughs, as well as short wave and long
wave upper level troughs.. can anyone comment on this?

OK this would b the easiest way - obviously Oz law prohibits this...... as it

There is another way - getting your Pacific Pesos from someone like Thomas
Cook - taking a chance and sending it snailmail - am looking into it tomorrow
(Saturday) as i'm up 2 my eyes in contract work today!

Would it be possible to send the ASWA application to me in Word 6 or less or
Wordperfect format - I'm a Wordperfect user... i ain't installing MS Office,
smiley paperclip and all!!! - Wordpad doesn't decode the document properly....

I believe 540's the one you're after. The blurb on the MRF

Paul, Michael

The split jet and upper devergence are not necessarily related. There is an
important distinction between diffluence and divergence. The point where
jets split is diffluent but not always divergent. Jet entrances and exits
are points of high convergence and divergence. The cyclonic curvature
(trough) of the jet is also an area where upper level divergence occurs due
to vorticity changes. These are the places to look for development - jet
entrances, exits and sharp upper troughs. A strong jet maxima approaching
the upper trough is often a good one to look out for.

The movement of upper level systems and the jet stream are interdependent
with perhaps the jet being slighly more of a driving force. IMHO I don't
think one can categorically state that one feature completely dominates the
other. The jet stream is driven by both local and broadscale circulation
features. Whereas upper level cold lows, cold pools and ridges tend to form
in response to local dynamical events (in this the jet stream is a major
player).

Short wave and long wave features are also important but not something I am
terribly up to speed on at the moment. Long wave features are hard to detect
and typically found by using a 5 day average of the upper air data. Long
wave patterns are much slower moving and are thought to influence longer
term trends in system development.

Ben, there's no hard and fast rule for this, as there are so many
variables. The 540 line is often stated as a dividing line between
precipitation falling as snow and rain, and that may be true for the
northern US and Europe. Based entirely on my own observation, I'd say
that southern Tasmania and South Island NZ need thicknesses in the low
520s or lower, while the rare occurrences of sea-level snow in
Victoria and NSW have occurred with thicknesses well below 520. 

However, for estimating precipitation type, I find 850hPa temperature
more useful -- low 1000/500hPa thickness doesn't always correspond
with sufficiently cold air at the surface, and it is the temperature
(and dew point) structure in the lowest few hundred metres above the
surface that is often critical in the finely balanced situations that
are usual for extreme events like this. 

Anyway, you lucky Un Zudders now have Rob Davies at MetVUW producing
snowfall (and accumulated snow) forecasts for you at
http://www.geo.vuw.ac.nz/~robd/snow.html. The commentary at the bottom
is very relevant to this discussion. 

BTW, he threatens to produce similar maps for Australia -- maybe we
should all email him to express our strong support!

Hi Jimmy here

It would have been great to see the type of system developing in inland NSW
during the summer period. There are quite a few thunderstorms developing
out there. Will this be the expected East Coast Low??? IT shows the best
signs with the position of the high pressure system to move the system
slowly and I think NE NSW is in for a dumping. After all, they had 1 month
of drought.

What I mean, because we had a few last year, the East Coast people are not
satisfied and they want more... We need news for Storm News  although the
WA and SA members will have stories to put through.

Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com

Hi all,
Jimmy here.

This is a brief run down of the NSW meeting held today 26th June 1999.

It was a pleasure to be able to lead this meeting. There were 11 in
attendance which is a fair turnout but apologies were accepted.

Agenda

The following items were discussed and some great ideas arose from the
discussion!!

- Grant suggested that the 4 community service announcements will be used
and may act as a basis for other states to use.
- Storm Database for ASWA - everyone loves the idea and accepts the
importance of manually maintaining such a database but only a few willing
to put in the efforts to run it. We desperately need more help. At the
moment, David Croan, Keith Barnett and John Roenfeldt (from WA) will be
working together in this very important project. Their help is very much
appreciated but we do need other people to help AT LEAST IN THE INITIAL
PROCESS.
- Discussed the need for storm spotters but most were anyway.
- The Annual General Meeting - was decided to have an informal type dinner
on Saturday evening/night 31st July 1999. Darren Heys and David Croan will
look into finding a venue. The night will be a casual affair but is
expected to cost hopefully between $20 to $30 per head. We will see what is
available first!!!!

- Call for nomination of Committee members: In light of the Annual General
Meeting around the corner (July 31st 1999), it was generally accepted that
people will self nominate for the positions to be filled and therefore not
need others to act as formal written nomonies. But as the rules suggest, it
must be given in writing 7 days before the meeting to the Secretary. The
positions that will become vacant or could be contested will be discussed
in the official minutes of the meeting.

- we need guest speakers but obviously they will be in short supply. So it
was proposed (and other states should follow suite) to encourage members to
give a talk of something they are comfortable with even like "the worst
storm they have ever experienced".

-Social nights and video nights - due to the distances and difference in
preferences, there will still be a mixture of activities although it seems
like the video nights are most popular. I wonder why?

-ASWA home page - very successful so far. Ideas to add: book list and links
of educational weather resources, online form to join ASWA, clickable map
for ASWA home page for the radar  - will contact Michael Fewings on this one.

- Storm News - should addresses of State Reps and executive committee
members appear on Storm News?? How do others that want to join ASWA send
their forms??  Also proof reading Storm News in case of spelling and
especially copyright issues.

- Australian Geographic article taking place and pictures needed.
Unfortunately pictures wanted may not be available.

- meetings to be held first Saturday of each month from September. Perhaps
a similar model will be beneficial to other states if not already in place.

- T-Shirts not much discussed but Jane will get back to us on this
- Honourary membership - agreed that it should only apply for very special
circumstances of years of dedicated work. Perhaps an award given out each
year can compliment and reward people for their work. Was suggested that
non-financial prizes are more acceptable according to the rules such as a
book or other form of gift. Guests can have dinner paid for by members.


We then went for some MacDonalds where everyone dispersed afterwards

This is the initial copy of the minutes. The main minutes will come a
little later when properly typed up.

Lindsay, you need to get your time zone changed. I think that the date/time
stamp is put on by your isp?? email them about it
The time zone on your mail is -0700, or western north america.
20:44 on the 26th in that time zone doesn't occur for almost another 17 hours.
