Hmm,

I heard all sorts of dire predictions for something like this last Nov for 
our cyclone season, which turned out to be a real fizzer for QLD.  Any 
Tropical Lows which did develop took off across the Timor Sea to become 
nasties off NW WA.

Hi every1,

For those that don't get USAToday, check this forecast...

"Expert: Potent hurricane season coming
One of the nation's top experts on hurricanes forecasts a wicked season 
with
three or four dangerous ones by November, so don't be lulled by the lack of 
storms so far. "This will be a very active hurricane year," says William
Gray, of Colorado State University. Gray's closely watched forecast, to be
updated Friday, won't stray far from his June prediction of 14 named storms 
including nine hurricanes."

Kevin.

 "EVIDENCE FOR A TIME-VARYING PATTERN OF GREENHOUSE WARMING
                    IN THE PACIFIC OCEAN" 

                 Wenju Cai and P. H. Whetton
           CSIRO, Division of Atmospheric Research

Abstract:  The response of sea surface temperature (SST)  patterns in
the tropical Pacific to enhanced greenhouse warming has the potential
to significantly affect future precipitation in regions affected by El
Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) variability.  Coupled global climate
models forced by increased greenhouse gases show faster warming in the
east Pacific with an El Nino-like warming pattern, but theoretical
studies suggest that the strong equatorial upwelling in the east
Pacific will delay the warming in this region, leading to a La
Nina-like pattern.  Here we report results from the CSIRO coupled
global climate model forced by historical and realistic future
scenarios of increasing greenhouse-gas concentrations which
demonstrate both of these responses in turn: an initial La Nina-like
warming pattern with large warming in extratropics and the west
Pacific, followed by an El Nino-like pattern with large warming in the
east Pacific from around the 1960s.  This behaviour is present in each
of an ensemble of three simulations, and the switch in response
appears to be driven by the subducted warmed extratropical water that
penetrates through the subtropics and into the tropics.  Our result
accommodates the seemingly conflicting conclusions of the previous
theoretical and modelling studies, and strengthens the argument that
the occurrence of an El Nino-like pattern in observed warming only
since the 1970s (alternatively explained as being due to a natural
multidecadal ENSO-like oscillation), is at least in part a
manifestation of the greenhouse response and can thus be expected to
persist. The implication for rainfall trend in Australia will be
dicussed.

Thanks for this David,

I'm by no means an expert (far from it actually!)  But, one thing that I
have wondered is how does plate techtonics interact with oceanic
currents?  I know that the movement from plate techtonics is only minute
(a few cm a year for most plates) - but, if we take the theory of chaos
as an example, and how it 'alters' our weather, is it possible that
oceanic currents could also be subject to chaos?  So that the small
movements we are seeing in plate techtonics is actually causing drastic
changes in the oceanic currents.

I recall reading an article about 5-6years ago about how the pacific
ocean is shrinking, and this would possibly alter the oceanic currents
in the long-term, but I don't believe chaos was talked about...

Any comments/suggestions are welcome (and asked for!)

Howdy all. Another beaut day here today.

Beautiful blue sky. Received 5mm rain at Mitchells Island between 12am & 6am
this morning in brief heavy showers.

Looks like the BOM's prediction of showers eventuated at long last. Monthly
total now 30mm for August 1999.

Some nice falls around Australia, Ben Quinn gave these totals via irc:

falls reported included Babinda 63mm, Cape Tribulation 55mm, Low Isles
47mm, Innisfail 46mm, Topaz 38mm, Kuranda 34mm, Cairns Airport 30mm,
Bedourie 13mm and Birdsville 11mm.

None in sight. Most coastal sites in this area have had at least 60mm
on an August day - and some of the wetter sites (e.g. Innisfail) over
200.

I've taken a look at the radar and satpics and these 
"showers and drizzle" doesn't look like letting up in 
the next few hours at all. From my office window in
Elizabeth St. Sydney City, this is "rather extraordinary
heavy drizzle" in any layman's terms:-)

Seriously, not much rain further south (Airport) and 
about 5mm towards Gosford, so this is really confined
to the northern section of Sydney. I am really amazed 
about what is causing that can be otherwise termed 
"consistent rain" while the bar is so high. There must
be something happening around 500mb and higher to
get this moist on-shore air to lift so well. An upper
level trough perhaps that has intensified today? Could
there be ECL potential overnight? Winds arn't exactly
light either being S/SE at 17kph so "something strange"
is going on...

Hi all

Those were fantastic photos he took!  Especially the first of the hailstorm
in its full fury at Bowen Hills.

With Marty's permission I put a selection of the photos onto my December 16,
1998 hailstorm report.
http://www.ozemail.com.au/~jourdey/storm/dec16_98.html.  Have a look at the
radar loop I have on there too - I really must update it.  It has the
crucial radar images missing!!  The storm went from just about nothing to a
very damaging storm dumping 10cm hail.  It developed WNW of me.

Anyway, enjoy.

James Chambers

Although I'm sure he's genuinely concerned about things this rooster has
obviously been inebriated with too much of Nostradamus and is another
one of these people who have an axe to grind or a wheelbarrow to
push.Palindromic dates (9/9/99) or other numerical oddities suggest he's
probably into astrology and the occult as well..

The very latest update is as under. I'm amazed at the rainfall
total..there's only been a millimetre or two of drizzle here (Seven
Hills) but the sky has all the look of an offshore trough..I'd say
that's what's kicking it all up (not extensive enough to show up on the
surface analysis)..?
