We have had widespread castellanus all morning and now the middle layers are closing in. Sydney can get something out of this as the cold front is weak and seems to have stalled and perhaps the prefrontal trough is developing. I noticed on the satellite picture that some cells seem to b forming along this trough especially near Mudgee and NW. Mario and I have therefore decided enough was enough and we will chase and perhaps stay overnight for tomorrows ideal situation given the jet. We will see what happens though.

Personally I have difficulty coming to terms with a diagrammatic contortionist view of flow patterns in a supercell (refer some of the 2D diagrams available in some textbooks), sometimes resembling an image of a cat that had been kicked in the guts ie: arms, legs and tails everywhere. Not for me to argue with this theory, nevertheless I wouldn't say that at some stage or other such airflow patterns may or may not exist in supercells. I wish to offer an exercise to all our amateur & professional meteorologists, weather enthusiasts and 'farmer joes' - could all of you as individuals describe in your own words what you think an RFD is and how it operates, and what its causes may be or whether it exists at all.

Currently on the wetlands east of Darwin. 3 strokes of lighting per second - and stretches from North to South. Is amazing - as usual radar is down and so I cant tell which way its moving - but I think its a squall line so its moving westwards and I should expect it around 12.

For an idea of the sort of thing I'm thinking of, have a look at http://thedixons.net/stormtrack/whoswho.asp Depending on the level of interest we may look at doing something like this....anyone interested, and have thoughts about the sort of info to be included eg: photo, best pic ever taken etc. -------------------------------- Jane ONeill cadence at rubix.net.au Melbourne Storm Chasers http://www.rubix.net.au/~cadence ASWA - Victoria 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------------------------------
