Patrick, you can work around it! Just login on an empty id and
password, then click on the link to "Backup AIS/MET System". The
direct URL is http://www.airservices.gov.au/brief/aismet.htm.

Though, how long this will continue is anyone's guess.

I have been out of town and very busy as this thread has progressed but
just wanted to make one comment.  I have written a paper that was
co-authored by a volcanologist which concerned radars (specifically the
WSR-88Ds) ability and applicability to the detection of volcanic ash. 
Something I learned during that period was that it is not the ash that
causes the climatic impact but rather the gas constituents of the eruption.
 For example, it was not the fact that Pennatubo (sp?) generated several
explosive eruptions that propelled ash upward over 100 K feet, but rather
that the clouds contained large quantities of HSO which combined with water
to produce sulfuric acid in the upper atmosphere.  These suspended droplets
were responsible for back-scattering incident sun rays and thus depleting
the arrival at the surface of a small portion of the sun's energy.

DURING THE PAST 6 HOURS. THE WARNING POSITION IS BASED ON 061130Z1
INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY, SYNOPTIC DATA, AND RADAR DATA. THE
WARNING INTENSITY IS BASED ON SATELLITE CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES
OF 55 AND 65 KNOTS AND SYNOPTIC SURFACE DATA. ANIMATED INFRARED
SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS THAT TC 14P (STEVE) HAS MAINTAINED INTENSITY
OVER THE PAST 06 HOURS WITH THE LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC)
EMBEDDED ABOUT 45 NM INTO THE CONVECTION. ANIMATED RADAR IMAGERY
FROM THE PORT HEDLAND, AUSTRALIA SITE DEPICTS AN INNER-CORE OF
CONVECTION STRADDLING THE COAST NEAR DAMPIER, AUSTRALIA WITH THE
MAJORITY OF DEEP CONVECTION NOW OVER WATER. TC 14P IS EXPECTED TO
TRACK GENERALLY WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD, SKIRTING THE NORTHWEST COAST OF
AUSTRALIA THROUGH 24 HOURS UNDER THE STEERING INFLUENCE OF THE MID-
LEVEL RIDGE OVER WESTERN AUSTRALIA. AFTER 24 HOURS, THE MID-LEVEL
RIDGE IS EXPECTED TO WEAKEN DUE TO AN APPROACHING MIDLATITUDE SHORT
WAVE TROUGH. THIS WILL RESULT IN A SHIFT TO A POLEWARD PATTERN,
WHICH WILL STEER TC 14P SOUTHWESTWARD. TC 14P (STEVE) SHOULD
MAINTAIN INTENSITY AT 65 TO 70 KNOTS FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS AS IT
MOVES WITHIN A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT, SOMEWHAT HINDERED DUE TO
INTERACTION WITH LAND. AFTERWARDS TC 14P SHOULD WEAKEN DUE TO

Australia's mean temperature for the summer of 1999/2000 was the
coolest since 1975/76.

The anomalies (based on a 1961-90 climatology) were:

Maximum		-1.43 (3rd lowest since 1950, lowest since 1975/76)
Minimum		-0.28

Mean		-0.86 (4th lowest since 1950, lowest since 1975/76)

Can someone please PUBLISH the BOM PASSWORD for RADAR ASAP please!

Seems that this is once again required for ASWA members (maybe someone has

Hi Blair,

So we weren't just imagining things here in Brissy then, although I guess
the folks in Perth will be rather doubtful of this stat.

I guess the question is whether this particularly relates to any other
meaningful stat., e.g., mean Antartic temp, ocean temps, La Nina, or
whatever.  What do you think this implies for winter, are we also likely to
get the coldest winter in 25 years, or a correspondingly mild winter.

Regards,
John.

Publishing such a password would get you into a bit of trouble: Being a
member of ASWA (hence having free radar access) is NOT a requirement for
being a member of this list.

I might be shooting myslef in the foot here (I'm not a member of ASWA, and
I'd get free radar access if the password was published), but I think the
Bureau wouldn't appreciate it's $600 per person per year password being
published in a public forum.

There's quite a strong relationship with La Nina; the two cooler summers
in the post-1950 period (1973/74 and 1975/76) were both strong La Nina
years.

There is no evidence I know of for linkages between summer and winter (in either
direction).

Refresh your browser window. In Netscape this is .
What's happening is that the old password is still being cached
by your browser, so you basically need a fresh login to the 
ASWA Members Area to flush the old BoM radar password away.
If all that fails, exit and restart your browser.

It does, but it reports by monthly postal return, not in real-time,
so the Bureau won't receive the amount until early-mid April.

Hi Miguel,

Yes I know that, but it really annoys me that I should even need a password.
This service is what I pay tax for, among others.

Publishing such a password would get you into a bit of trouble: Being a
member of ASWA (hence having free radar access) is NOT a requirement for
being a member of this list.

I might be shooting myslef in the foot here (I'm not a member of ASWA, and
I'd get free radar access if the password was published), but I think the
Bureau wouldn't appreciate it's $600 per person per year password being
published in a public forum.

Cheers

It appears that a significant Australian weather record has gone almost
unnoticed.
apparently, Belleden Ker (Top Station) to the Sw of Carins recorded
11,852 mm of rain in 1999. 
That is over 466 inches for those who like other figures
The previous record Australian annual rainfall was at the same site in
1979 with 11,251 mm I think. That occasion they had record monthly
January rains.
Are the daily or monthly figures for 1999 available, Blair ??

Cheers,

Hi ASWA members and guests,

You are all invited to the next NSW ASWA meeting on 18th March 2000. The 
following are the details:

Venue - Mario's place  90 Station St Arncliffe
Time - 5:30pm or there about
What to bring - We are not being let down by anyone at the moment, chips, 
drinks, and so on and also money for the pizza

The theme for the evening

The theme of this meeting is "Supercells". I could not go past
the fact that the meeting lies on the 10th anniversary of the 18th
March 1990 supercell hailstorm. This supercell devastated Sydney
causing hundreds of millions of dollars damage.

Paul will give a brief presentation of the storm and then others
can talk about their experiences with any supercells. Please bring
along photographs, video or whatever of past supercells.

Members and guests, cousins, whatever are invited. Please do come along and 
don't feel shy about it. You will feel so much part of the meeting almost 
immediately. Bring along your stories and don't worry about how much you 
know or don't know. That is why we meet so we can all learn.

Actual meeting will start a little later than normal.

Official Meeting time
7:30pm
8:00pm - 9:00pm  Paul graham will give his presentation
Discussion time 9:00 - onwards

Hope to see you all there. We all appreciate you attendance. Please 
indicate if you are not attending the meeting but replying to 
jdeguara at ihug.com.au

If you need lifts, or can give lifts to others, please contact me and I 
will see what I can arrange but no guarantees. Some can't come simply 
because of transport.

Jimmy Deguara
President and NSW organiser ASWA.

I got this email today, can anyone out there help me with the other states?

"Ira,
when was the last big tornado in Australia, both in terms of F value and
the one that killed the most number of people?"

I know of a few deaths in aus but im not sure what the most recent would
be. I think the bucca would easily qualify for the biggest most recent one.

Hi James,

The low cloud and precipitation would probably be the reason why the radar 
is not picking up the rain as much. Also the showers are moving quickly 
even here at Schofields.

Talking about rain, we have had some useful falls of rain in the past 
couple of days.  5mm  then 26mm  and another 5mm+ so far today.

It seems there is no real end in sight... Watching the radar illustrates 
(and this is a good example for those who haqven't seen the radar much) 
rain from the SE along the coast and then some upper level stuff coming 
from the N-NW. Look at the Sydney Broad Scale radar for those who are 
members of ASWA or who have some sort of access. Watch carefully the 
movement of the intensities rather than just the preciptation!

At the risk of sounding like a broken record it somehow remained dry here at
my place over the last 24 hours.

But I am at last confident that something will give, there was sunny breaks
this afternoon before cirrus thickened rapidly from the NW. I think the rain
currently over the NW from the upper trough is on its way, projecting its
path it should move offshore and may start some circulation just off Sydney
tomorrow, bringing in heavier rain.
