Hi Everyone,
Here is some further information for those planning
to attend next Wednesdays dinner. I have made a 6pm booking at "Nicks Seafood
Restaurant" which is located at Cockle Bay Wharf on the Eastern side of Darling
Harbour.
For a map and details of the menu and wine list go
to the restaurants website which is at http://www.nicks-seafood.com.au/default.asp
Also I have included a link to a larger scale map
of the Darling Harbour area which can be found at http://www.ozemail.com.au/~mjpiper/map.gif
The plan at this stage is for everyone to meet me
outside my work which is located where the large red circle is on the previous
map at 201 Sussex St. I finish work at 5pm and will be waiting outside the IBM
tower where there is a cafe.
If anyone needs to contact me they can call me on
my mobile which is 0414 393267

Jane -
I cannot help you as regards the
transparentisation in Paint Shop Pro as it bombs my PC out when I attempt it but
here's how I pulled out individual images from an animated GIF in
Animation Shop -
Start both Animation Shop and Paint Shop
Pro. Minimise Paint Shop Pro.
Load up the animated gif into Anmimation
Shop.
Scroll to the frame required (the one
showing that huge red Vnotch ??)
EDIT - COPY.
Maximise PSP.
EDIT - Paste as new image.
Save as Jpeg or whatever.

Hi Jane and all
I use PsP 6.0 which is the same as PsP 5.0 except it has a few extra
helpers in it, but making a transparent image is the same.
Firstly select your desired image, making sure the area you wish to make
transparent is free from those little squares that make a transparency look
yuk. Zoom in on the area and using the paint brush tool on 1 pixle clean
the area.
next you need to grab the colour that the area of transparency is made of,
to do this goto the tools and select the eye-dropper then RIGHT click on
the desired area on your image. This puts the selected colour as the
background colour.
next goto the menu up the top of the page and select "colors", go down to
set palette transparency or in PsP6 press "Shift-Ctrl-V"
a little window may come up, just click yes for now, then ok on the next
window.
Another window comes up and you have three options here, goto the middle
option which says something like "Set transparency to the current
background color" and click on the radio button.
Okay now your image is transparent, but whats that you say, you cannot see
the transparent area or it has not changed?
Try this, save the image as a GIF then look at the image on your browser,
If it doesnt look right go back to PsP and fill in the transparent area in
another colour, which is slightly different to the original, this will
ensure that some areas of the picture that you don't want transparent don't
become transparent. Go back and set the transparency like you did before,
don't forget about the eye dropper part.
Save the image and look at it again. Repeat if necessary. Okay thats it,
this method I have used many times, other people may have different ways of
going about it, but it usually ends up the same.
okay now to the Animation, this one is easy, load up your animation in the
Animator that comes with Psp.
Select all the frames by pressing Ctrl-A
goto File up the top of the page, then go down to export frames to Paint
shop pro, this will transfer all images over to PsP, there you can save
them. This may take a while depending on the size of the Animation and the
speed of your computer.
Okay have fun!!!!!

Hi Jane, John, everyone..
There are quite a few pages on the internet that provide guides on how
to do certain things in PSP - my internet browser is playing up at the
moment, but if you search for "PSP" or "Paint Shop Pro" or something
like that, you should find a few sites with these guides - i looked
quite a while ago and downloaded a large course on how to do heaps of
nifty things in PSP.. i have since deleted it though..

When I first read this post on the train last night, images
of WW2 bombers falling out the sky trailing the banner "The
arguement about mid-level warming contained herein..." filled
my head. Yep, Dr. DJ, you shot 'em down:-)
Being grossly guilty of selective editing, I'd like to explore
a one particular notion further...
[snip Kevin's premise reworded "do we enough upper and mid
level data to say that there is no corresponding (albeit
perhaps lagged) changes (Ed: warming) in these levels?"]
[snip most of Dr. David Jone's excellent post]

Touche' DJ...I'm yet to see any scientific paper recently
that has changed the melting point of ice...Sometimes the
evidence, put bluntly, is so bloody obvious. There are three
basic things that affect a glacier's growth or retreat rate;
1) Ice & snow accumulation.
2) Temperature.
3) Friction.
See http://www-nsidc.colorado.edu/NASA/SOTC/index.html
for more...
Now where's about 500mb? In the tropics between 5650m and
5850m or so. It's around those altitudes that glaciers and
ice caps in tropical regions form. So without any expensive
satellites, it is pragmatic to deduce that if glaciers and
ice-caps in tropical and sub-tropical regions are retreating,
then a combination of 1) to 3) is responsible. My question is,
what do detailed observations show? My answer is that it is
almost impossible to point the glacier-melting-finger since
there are bugger-all meteorological records for alpine sites
in the tropical and subtropical regions. Catch-22:-( But
hang-on, remember that recent post about ice-cores in Vostok
(Antartica)?. We can directly measure the historical rate of
accumulation and the temperature at the time of accumulation
by the ratio of oxygen-16 to oxygen-18. This has been done in
many regions and we can extend this provided these glaciers
and ice-caps continue to exist...If they melt, we've got no
proven record left other than that FACT. QED.
P.S...and there is always a P.S with me:-) Some glaciers and
ice-caps are expanding! However, many fewer are expanding
than those retreating:-( Most of the expanding glaciers are
expanding because of increased ice accumulation aloft and/or
less friction underneath caused largely by increased melting.
P.P.S...and there is only a P.P.S. from me accompanying some
profound statement. That is...me thinks that those who support
the ostrich global warming notion - little or no warming
and/or "proven" evidence thereof, march to a largely political
and financial drum with the goal to protect existing
investments and not advocate or support grossly needed change
in current modus operandi..."We'll cope with it when we get
there..." mentality. Trouble is, their ultimate demise
may ironically contribute to global warming by virtue of
efficient cremation!...but not before they are drowned by
rising sea levels in their favourite sea-side resort...

Howdy all
This great big orangy thing appeared today! Long time no see.
Rainfall totals from the last 7 days are all well over 300mm for most
parts - mine was close to 450mm!!
On another note - Darwin Airport has received 1319mm in 89 days!!
This is above average and amazing seeing that the monsoon didnt
really kick in to the start of last week!
Hoping to see some storms in Sydney this week!
Paul.

Hey all
Typing this from a very hot Melbourne, currently the temp is about 36 with a
fresh northerly, should get up in the high 30's.
Earlier this week Blair wrote that Melbourne's record February average
maximum is 30.2, and that at the start of the week the current average was
30. After this weeks maximums, all over 30 and many in the mid to high 30's
Melbourne's average must be well over record territory.
Looking at the long range models it looks almost a certainty that the
February average maximum will be smashed. GASP and MRF have Melbourne stuck
in a general northerly airflow for the rest of the month, which means we can
expect maximums mainly in the 30's.
Tomorrow the maximum is only expected to reach 22, but this will be
compensated by today's beepen heat.
I just wondering what the hottest month in Melbourne has ever been and if we
are in target of breaking that record??? Blair???
Nick Sykes from a sleepless Melbourne

Dont hold your breath waiting for them, you will pass out. Being here will
give you a taste of what the dry season up there is like. Fine, 30+ for
days on end.
Bet you cant wait for that huh :)
Although at the moment there is some ok Tcu stuff going up on the ranges,
heavily capped I think though.
Maybe tomorrow, but highly unlikely, then yet again a ridge will form after
the change passes through at least till thursday or so.

Hi Michael,
Talk about gross editing!
My inquiry was whether the historical record for upper atmosphere not only
covered time but AREA!
How much of good ol Terra is above 5000m?
Cheers,

For those in Sydney who are interested, here are the details for the AMOS
meeting next Wednesday. I will not be attending unfortunately as Paul
Mossman will be visiting from the Northern Territory.

Chair Milton Speer BoM
Vice Chair Elly Spark BoM
Secretary Michael Box Uni of New South Wales
Treasurer Angela Maharaj Macquarie University
Committee Julie Evans BoM
Paul Graham Macquarie University
Neil Holbrook Macquarie University
Alan Williams Sydney Uni (retired).
NOTICE OF FEBRUARY SCIENTIFIC MEETING
The next meeting of the AMOS Sydney Centre will be held on Wednesday 23
February, 2000
Venue: Macquarie University
School of Earth Sciences
Room 143, Building E5A, Level 1
(Note: parking fee of $1 per hour applies at night) Time: 7:30 pm for a
7:45 pm start.
The program includes announcements the current weather situation and
forecasts for the week. The main seminar will be on "Nowcasting for +the
Sydney 2000 Olympics: the NCAR Autonowcaster", by Dr. Jim Wilson (full
details on next page).
The Committee will be dining with the Guest Speaker at the nearby "Middle
of Nowwhere"
restaurant from about 6.00 pm. Members and their guests are welcome to join
the Committee
at the dinners. Please contact Secretary: Michael Box (02 93854545/fax
93856060) or email:
mab at newt.phys.unsw.edu.au if you wish to attend the dinner so that a
booking can be made.
Some light refreshments will be available following the meeting. (There
will be a $2 charge
for nonAMOS members.)
A field demonstration project sanctioned by the World Weather Research
Program has brought together stateoftheart nowcasting systems form around
the world to forecast weather events for the 2000 Olympic games in Sydney.
These nowcasting systems will be tested sidebyside for a three month period
which includes the period of the Olympics. These systems are the NIMROD and
GANDOLF systems from the United Kingdom, the Warning Decision Support
System from the US, the Radar Processing and Decision System from Canada,
and the Autonoweaster from the US. The seminar will focus on the
Autonowcaster, which is an expert system developed at NCAR for the 02 hour
forecasting of convective storms and precipitation rate. The system is able
to forecast storm initiation and dissipation in addition to simple
extrapolation of existing storms. Forecasts are made for a 300km by 300k
domain with a I km grid spacing. The Autonowcaster integrates data from
Doppler radar, satellite, radiosondes, profilers, surface stations,
lightning networks and numerical weather prediction models. In addition
very high resolution boundary layer winds are also obtained from a
numerical model and its adjoint. Forecast parameters are derived from these
data sets using research results from numerous field programs and numerical
modelling simulations. Utilizing fuzzy logic concepts the forecast
parameters are converted to values representing likelihood of precipitation
and then combined for the final forecast. The Autonowcaster is now running
in real time in the US at the National Weather Service Forecast Office and
at two Army test sites, as well as the Bureau of Meteorology in Sydney.
During the seminar the Autonoweaster forecast logic will be described,
simple forecasts presented, and plans will be given for use during the
Sydney 2000 Demonstration Project.

The Guest Speaker for the' night will be Dr Jim Wilson, Senior Scientist,
National Center for Atmospheric Research, Boulder, Colorado.
Dr. Wilson has 38 years experience with weather radar for research and
operational
applications. He is internationally known for his early research into the
use of radar to
estimate precipitation. Since joining NCAR his research has been directed
towards the use of
c
Doppler radar to investigate mesoscale phenomena and into its use for
operational
forecasting.

Hi all,
Some storms have formed near where Jane is, she is near Mortlake at the
moment. I was talking to her briefly (and she was describing this
wonderfully wierd, elephant trunk like volcanic plug to me), but her
mobile reception dropped out :( The cells are generally yellow/green on
radar, but peaking into pink occassionally.

Hi everyone,
Some very impressive rainfall totals have been recorded in
the central inland regions of QLD due to heavy thunderstorms.
For example, Mt Isa had 67mm since 9am.

Paul,
GPATS data only picks up CG's - I refer you to the Energex site that
explains this - although occassionally it picks up the odd CC (ie 1 in a
100). But Jane has had some static on radio, indicating they are
definately electrically/lightning active.
