Hi All,
The continuing dry spell just west of Brisbane and trend towards
increasingly below average rainfall, which commenced in January, raises the
real prospect of likely winter drought. Sliding 30 day average now down to
0.12mm per day. Is this really La Nina?
John.

Hi all,
My dad pointed out to me that on the Foxtel radar imagery (supplied by
the BoM), it has 'unavailable due to union action' written over it. I
checked the BoM site, and interestingly a quick scan of the QLD
forecasts, MSLA and radar revealed that they were all working normally
(actually, we got a 7am MSLA, I think that could be considered abnormal
with all the staff shortage messages lately?? )
Can anyone shed any light on this?

Yes I have noticed that have missed a few Mean Sea Level Analyses due to
"staff shortage". I think they may be missing say the 4pm or 1pm ones at times.

In terms of La Nina, I think you will find that when you do get rain, it
will be a significant amount John. It is a matter of when. The same I
suppose was happening to Wollongong when Sydney had received a lot of rain.
Eventually they got a couple of flash flood events. Even during droughts,
there have been just the odd month of significant weather. Oh well we will
see what happens.
To me it looks interesting in SE Qld at the moment with a dip in the NW
cloud band and a deep high.

Oooh Jimmy
I hope so. We could really use it. It seems that there has been plenty of
rain around (literally) but not here.
Currently the weather in SE QLD is classic Quidge. Strong (not quite
howling) SE's, close to 100% cloud cover and of course, zero rain. I expect
the coasts are getting light drizzle. With the drop in temps and humidity
in the first week of April, we are now well underway towards the dry winter
regime, so I suspect that significant falls now are unlikely until much
later in the year. But here's hoping anyway.
John.

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 APRIL SCIENTIFIC MEETING
The next meeting of the AMOS Sydney Centre will be held on Wednesday 26
April, 2000
Venue: University of New South Wales
School of Physics
Room 27, Old Main Building
Parking is available on campus (for a fee),
but free parking on Barker St. is probably the best option
The Old Main Building is opposite the Barker St. gate.
Time: 7:30 p.m. for a 7:45 p.m. start.
The program includes announcements, the current weather situation and
forecasts for the week. The main seminar will be on "Applied Coastal
Oceanographical and Meteorological Modelling in Australia and Asia", by Dr.
Graeme Hubbert (full details on next page).
News Items
AMOS Council has decided that the 2001 AMOS Conference will be held in
Darwin, and the 2002 Conference will be held in Perth (both in conjunction
with other planned conferences).
Council is researching the issue of accreditation, with the aim of
introducing a special membership category for appropriately qualified AMOS
members.Sydney AMOS Presentation

Room 27, Old Main Building
University of New South Wales
Wednesday April 26
7:30 pm for a 7:45 pm start
GEMS was formed seven years ago after I left the Bureau of Meteorology and
in the first part of the presentation I will outline the range of
consulting work carried out by GEMS. This will cover oceanographic areas
such as coastal flood modelling from tropical cyclone storm surges, ocean
current modelling for oil spill and search and rescue, coastal and
estuarine modelling for coastal engineering projects. Meteorological areas
covered will include mesoscale meteorological modelling for environmental
studies and for marine activities such as yachting, with examples from
previous America's Cup campaigns.
The need to examine the relationship between the research world, in the
areas of meteorology and oceanography, and the needs of the "real" world is
extremely pertinent at the moment. This relationship is going to be up for
public examination this year due to the advent of the Olympics. Never
before in the history of these sciences has the world's attention on the
ability of Australia to apply its knowledge of meteorology and oceanography
to provide usable forecasts been so focused. This is a very important time
for Australia to cement its reputation of excellence in these sciences. It
is therefore critical that the best expertise from the research and the
consulting worlds is drawn together to produce Australia's best
effort. This issue will be discussed in more detail.
Dinner
The Committee will be dining with the Guest Speaker at the "Momma Teresa"
Italian Restaurant (412 Anzac Parade, one block south of Barker St.; great
pasta for around $10) from about 6.15 p.m. Members and their guests are
welcome to join the Committee at the dinner. (Don't worry if you can't make
it by 6.15: they can put a pasta in front of you in record time!) 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 non-AMOS members: students
exempted.)

Things still rather dry here, some light drizzle today, but overall down on
rainfall average for the year.

How strange it is really................... you Southerners are crying for
rain........ yet people up here are lamenting the fact that the BOM
has changed their mind and has rain/storms now continuing to at
least the end of the week - received 48mm last night from a storm
and a decent blob of yellow on radar now heading for us may help
push the rain total towards the all time record - which is just under
2500.
Hmm it seems all too good for me! The BOM 4 day outlook has a
Low developing tomorrow to the NorthEast - it now depends on the
trough and potential contained in it to see if we have a final Tropical
Low fling to end our season off. Damm I hope so! Seems that the
massive high is aiding in keeping this trough alive - giving it some
decent vorticity / shear through very gusty & humid easterlies.

Following on the comments re: drought etc......check out the % of
rain received..................
http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/rainmaps/pmontha.shtml
on stats alone Australia as a whole has received well above-
average rainfall - but check out the East / Southern and SW coasts
- pretty worrying - esp since the BOM predicted 75% chance of
recieving "above average rains".................
comment??

Actually Paul,
I was wondering about that. I saw quite a bit of convective activity quite
close to Darwin. Definitely the updated forecast seems more realistic.
