Hi all Its been a wet year so far for my place in southern Brisbane. I have to say the rainfall over the Qld Sunshine Coast this year would be so much more than Brisbane and Ballina. My obs (southern Brisbane) January: 122.6 February: 238.0 March 118.6 April 55.5 May 86.5 June 194.5 Total for the first 6 months of the last year of 1999: 815.7mm. Of course its nowhere near a record, but its way above average. +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 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------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 004 From: John Woodbridge [jrw at pixelcom.net] To: "'aussie-weather at world.std.com'" [aussie-weather at world.std.com] Subject: RE: aus-wx: Sydney Fog Date: Thu, 1 Jul 1999 00:43:33 +1000 Organization: Pixel Components Pty Ltd X-Mailer: Microsoft Internet E-mail/MAPI - 8.0.0.4211 Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com Just to add to this. My ex-father in law lived in Katoomba for many years and still has a house near the Three Sisters. He recalls many occasions when the fog at Katoomba in early morning was so thick that visibility was down to less than 3 meters. On one occasion he swears he could not see his feet and only just make out his hand when held out in front of him. Have any of our Blue Mountains folk experienced this? Many parts of NW Sydney are also well elevated, Hornsby is around 160m I think, so very low cloud will frequently cause fog over that area. On nights when sinking is occurring, one tends to have clear air at Hornsby and drive down into the fog at around Chatswood. John. p.s. Raining again Brisbane after an interlude this morning. >snip However, I do understand that during the night, some of the fogs are incredibly thick and often it occurs as you approach the Schofields to Richmond area. I do recall speaking to Robert Hyde a few years back and he studies the flow of wind and has done studies of the flow of wind within Sydney. He suggested that typically the air will circulate in the basin during the night and sink in the northwestern areas of Sydney. Quite interesting and it probably explains the lower temperatures and the amount of fogs experienced in this region. +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 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------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 005 From: Paul_Mossman at agd.nsw.gov.au X-Lotus-Fromdomain: NSW_AG To: aussie-weather at world.std.com Date: Thu, 1 Jul 1999 08:12:47 +1000 Subject: RE: aus-wx: Sydney Fog Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com Morning all.

One thing I found interesting for the last 3 nights is the wind increasing on sunset and becoming quite strong in the early hours of the morning.

Rain started with a bang last night, at around 1am, it suddenly became windy, 10-15kn. This steadily increased to 20-25kn, and then suddenly, the rain came pouring down, with winds sustained at 30kn, gusting to 40kn!!!! Whenever we get gales, I always watch the large tree in my neighbours yard swaying madly like anything, but it never falls down! My guess is that it's extremely flexible... The 'torrential rain' didn't last long, it soon went back to light-moderate, but about 5mins after that, it came pouring down again. The gutters overflowed in 7mins. Due to my wanting to have the window open to feel the wind, I then had to sleep in a wet bed, because the rain had come in :( So far, we've nearly had our average for July - the July average is 62mm. This rainfall, while not seem like much, is all very significant considering winter is meant to be some what of a "dry season" for us.

My parents also have a home near the Three Sisters and Echo Pt. They might know your ex-father-in-law. It's a small world:-) I lived there between 1975 and 1978 with visits at some weekends and university holidays after that. From 1974 we had another home in Katoomba closer to the Skyway & Caravan Park that was less "foggy". As for fog in the area mentioned, from personal experience, it often thickens considerably toward the escarpment during E TO SE winds. The "fog" is a combination of both the main cloud base level being below the altitude of the escarpment and real fog being blown up the escarpment from the valley below. Go for a walk one day in the area and you'll see what I mean. Visability can be very bad as you mentioned though I have never seen it bad enough not to be able to see one's feet in the day. Night is another matter with scattering of artificial light by the "fog" making visability seem much worse to the person shining the light or driving. During the day the worse I have seen it was zero detail visible beyond 5m. In that case, I could not make out any detail of the trees at a known distance from my parent's front door. A warm, saturated January day I recall, with the temperature around 17C in Katoomba and 22C in Sydney. Winter "fogs" (with temperature 2C to 6C) never seem to be as dense as those during the summer. This has something to do with the greater amount of water present at ~100% humidity in the atmosphere during warmer conditions. If there is a point to all this, it is that there are many "fogs" defined being; 1) Advection fog - a moist, stable air mass is blown over a cold surface (water, ice), thereby becoming saturated. 2) Radiation fog - a surface radiates energy, thereby cooling to the point of saturation. 3) Hill fog - is simply low cloud covering the hill tops. I would argue that this is not a true "fog". 4) Upslope fog - is formed as moist air is driven up a slope. This often precedes 3) above. 5) Artic / Antartic sea smoke - a rare fog formed when cold air passes over a warm surface. It is the same effect as opening the freezer door during a humid day (I think). So Katoomba's Three Sister's example is an combination of "hill fog" (low cloud) and "upslope fog", both of which I would argue are "cloud".

It certainly is soggy around Brisbane at the moment.. although the rain i just had in the past couple of hours was fairly heavy, the creeks around my house are banking it and flowing very very fast at the moment.. any rain that falls is simply running straight off because it's so wet.. It looks like we may have a few days of mainly fine weather ahead though (we need it), although most models are forecasting some upper level instability over the weekend.. BOM have backed right off the upper level action they over the weekend for us at the beginning of the week.. it will be interesting to see what happens..

On a 'normal' fog day when I journey down the great western highway I decend into the fog at a place called Lapstone Hill, which is where the road starts to climb up into the mountains. Yesterday the fog came up the valleys and up to Mount Riverview, which the first ridge you see when you look at the Mountains. As for now it is foggy, cold and wet. :) Daniel Weatherhead weatherhead at ozemail.com.au ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 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------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 010 X-Sender: mbath at pop.ozemail.com.au X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Pro Version 4.1 Date: Thu, 01 Jul 1999 13:32:09 +1000 To: aussie-weather at world.std.com From: Michael Bath [mbath at ozemail.com.au] Subject: aus-wx: TC Vance report Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com Here's another report on TC Vance, I think by that guy some of you saw on TV, filming as the storm hit Exmouth: http://www.rambocam.com/vance.html cheers, Michael ============================================================ Michael Bath Wollongbar, N.Rivers NSW mbath at ozemail.com.au http://australiansevereweather.simplenet.com/ http://www.lightningphotography.com/ http://www.severeweather.asn.au/ ============================================================ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 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------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 011 Date: Thu, 01 Jul 1999 14:29:20 +1000 From: Anthony Cornelius [cyclone at flatrate.net.au] X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.6 [en] (Win98; I) X-Accept-Language: en To: aussie-weather at world.std.com Subject: Re: aus-wx: TC Vance report Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com It won't be long before this yahoo falls into the fate of mother nature judging by his idiotic, stupid, moronic, uneducated, unintelligent, immature, simplistic, unethical and unorthodox actions.

On moist cool days in the mountains it is common to see shreds/wisps/banners of what could be taken for steam rising from parts of the vegetation, particularly dense rainforest areas. I've always assumed this is caused by the air under the rainforest canopy becoming saturated, then drifting into cooler air above the canopy and condensing. My guess is that you could add this as a third mechanism at work giving Echo Point its megafogs. At Blackheath, I live in Hat Hill Road which is on a long ridge poking northeast into the Grose Valley. Our densest fogs are summer and early autumn ones, when moist air rolls up the Grose on an E to NE wind. Possibly the thickest are those that arrive with a dying seabreeze front. After an otherwise warm and sunny day, the fog can roll in on the front usually around sunset, and within half a minute visibility can go from 50km to 20m. Because the seabreeze air is seldom much deeper than the height of the Blue Mountains ridge at this point (about 1000/1100m), the fog is seldom deeper than a few hundred metres as it rolls across the ridge, and can often then be seen rolling off the western cliffs into the Kanimbla Valley and dissipating into the drier, warmer air -- much as Michael described the Sydney fog rolling over the Illawarra escarpment yesterday, and rather like dry-ice fog falling out of a sink. The thickest fogs I've seen would get a visibility rating of 15 metres, given a definition of visibility as the greatest distance at which substantial items (trees, poles, cars) can be identified in daylight. -- Laurier Williams Australian Weather Links and News http://www.ozemail.com.au/~wbc/ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 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------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 015 From: Blair Trewin [blair at met.Unimelb.EDU.AU] Subject: Re: Katoomba Fog - was "Re:aus-wx: Sydney Fog" To: aussie-weather at world.std.com Date: Thu, 1 Jul 1999 15:05:52 +1000 (EST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] Sender: aussie-weather-approval at world.std.com Reply-To: aussie-weather at world.std.com > > On Thu, 01 Jul 1999 11:07:49 +1000, Michael Scollay > wrote: > > >If there is a point to all this, it is that there are many > >"fogs" defined being; > > > >1) Advection fog - a moist, stable air mass is blown over a > >cold surface (water, ice), thereby becoming saturated. > >2) Radiation fog - a surface radiates energy, thereby cooling > >to the point of saturation. > >3) Hill fog - is simply low cloud covering the hill tops. > >I would argue that this is not a true "fog". > >4) Upslope fog - is formed as moist air is driven up a > >slope.

Unlike radiation fog, which (in Australia) almost always clears by early afternoon, hill and upslope fog can last for extended periods of time. One particularly notable episode I recall was in December 1991, when hill fog developed in the NSW Southerh Highlands around Bowral on the evening of the 27th and persisted almost continuously until the 31st.

And it's getting better as time goes on. Watch out 'gong and Camden area there's some action heading your way!

I have found a deal through Qantas which includes 2 nights accommodation and return economy airfares. The price is $279 per person twin share. If anyone would like to come along with me to Melbourne could they please let me know by the end of next week. I am planning on leaving after work on the Friday and returning Sunday afternoon or evening. Matthew Piper P.S. I missed out on seeing any lightning in the city when I left work at 5pm. I was looking for it but didnt see a thing. Plenty of heavy rain around though at the time which made it hard to keep dry on the way to the station. +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 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------------------------------
