Hi all,

NASA TECHNOLOGY TRACKS CONSEQUENCES OF HURRICANE FLOYD

     A NASA oceanographer, using spaceborne technologies to study 
the effects of Hurricane Floyd, has seen indications that there 
may be significant impacts on the marine food chain along the 
North Carolina coast due to extensive rainfall in the region.

     "Following Hurricane Floyd, record-breaking rains continued 
to soak the area, washing mountains of sediment and waste into the 
water system.  Now rivers and tributaries along the Atlantic are 
choked and major ecological changes are happening," said Gene 
Feldman, of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD.

     "Periodically, levels of dissolved oxygen in the water have 
dropped dramatically as organic matter decomposes, and aquatic 
life has been threatened in dozens of estuaries and peripheral 
habitats, commonly referred to as 'dead zones.'  The current 
changes in the area may have lasting repercussions for hundreds of 
thousands of people," he said.

     Scientists are studying Hurricane Floyd's effect on algae 
blooms and phytoplankton, important links in the regional marine 
food chain.  Their data also will help them understand how the 
hurricane's aftermath may affect the fragile environment in the 
coming months.

     Using data from NASA's Earth-orbiting Sea-viewing Wide Field-
of-view Sensor  (SeaWiFS) and an airborne laser instrument, 
scientists from two National Oceanic and Atmospheric 
Administration (NOAA) centers can monitor algae growth over large 
regions, including Pamlico Sound between the North Carolina 
mainland and the Outer Banks.

     According to Pat Tester, a NOAA scientist at the Center for 
Coastal Fisheries and Habitat Research, Beaufort, NC, fertilizer 
and other nutrients that flowed down the storm flooded rivers in 
eastern North Carolina are feeding the algae or phytoplankton in 
the sounds.

     "One question is what happens to the aquatic activity in the 
sounds when this algae dies and begins to starve the waters of 
oxygen," Tester said.  "The long-term observations provided by the 
NASA technology will help us monitor the phytoplankton in the 
water.

     "The NASA technology improves our ability to monitor these 
important fishery areas by covering larger areas than direct 
sampling from boats can, and by providing this information for 
weeks or months."

     Tester's team is coordinating sampling missions from small 
boats on the waterways with flights by a NOAA Twin-Otter aircraft 
carrying the NASA laser and observations from the SeaWiFS 
spacecraft.  "This approach is providing a three-tier look at the 
area from space, air and sea," she said.

     The laser system, the Airborne Oceanographic Lidar from 
Goddard's Wallops Flight Facility, Wallops Island, VA, transmits a 
green light pulse into the water, where the light is absorbed by 
the phytoplankton.  A receiver on the aircraft detects the green 
light reflected from the water's surface and red light that is 
emitted by the chlorophyll pigment in the algae.

     The SeaWiFS instrument measures changes in water color that 
indicate where concentrations of phytoplankton are located.

     NOAA's Coastal Services Center, Charleston, SC, is also 
taking part in the research.

     Images from SeaWiFS of eastern North Carolina following 
Hurricane Floyd are available at the following web addresses.

If you are trying to get radar tonight - yes there is a difficulty -
seems to be at the BOM end - so dont throw the Computer through the
wall.

Our resident genius & technician is out chasing (lucky him!!!) so we all
just have to wait! I think I might go outside and run around with a

Olympus OM2 damn fine camera.  In my opinion it has better optics than anything on the market today under around $700.

John.

I'm still grimly hanging onto my 15 y.o. Olympus OM2 (almost out
of spite, I think :) I used to know a camera repairman quite well
and he refused to fix anything higher than an OM2. OM4, 10 or 20 he
would just recommend throwing it out and buying a new one.

Then again, nothing beats the Pentax K1000!

Chilly for November in Brisbane that is.  
Mt. Crosby min last night 12.5C, max yesterday 22C, today 23.5.  That's around 5C..7C below average for this location.

John.
>snip
 For those that are interested:

The maximum temp readings at my place for Mond/Tues/Wed are as follows;

Monday 12.8, Tuesday 9.6, Wednesday 8 (Midday reading).

Its been pretty chilly in Blackheath of late, for November. Readings do
vary a lot here as there are some pretty decent hollows in the area, but
I am situated on one of the highest places. Gotta say though, my
minimums aren't often much to write home about.

I've got a 20 year old Russian made Zenit-B, completely manual (have to use a

this camera rattles about in the boot of my car and still takes excellent funnel

Hi Kath,

the possible use of a GPS on chases, or for storm spotting for the Bom. I wonder if
the idea is worth including in the next newsletter?

Howdy all.

Plenty of instability around at the moment. Showers falling all over the place.
Heavy rain again last night / this morning - I received 10.4mm mostly around
11.15pm - 12pm.

Total now for year is 1485.6mm

Down on last year by 200mm but still above average.

hi all,

Well what a few days we have had In Western Australia.

Monday - a few very short Lived cells NE of Perth and all up
a nightmare to try and chase. 250 km of chasing with Mark.

Tuesday- Chase with Ira to the wheatbelt to some pretty big
pulse cells. A wall cloud and an anvil of over 300 km in
length from the cell we decided upon. 600 km of driving.
Best storms this year I have seen.

Wednesday - chase to the south east of Perth with some great
cells over the eastern suburbs. Saw a funnel and some very
heavy rain and heard of hail from the cell I chased as well.
A lovely 50 km of driving through Perth traffic.

over the hills of Perth today.

Now to get my life back in order. :)

There looks to be some fairly interesting action happening in
northern SA - check out the Woomera radar - the main activity seems to
be just east of Woomera. 

Not optimum chasing country - the road network leaves a bit to be
desired! (although if anyone were up there the Hawker-Leigh Creek
road would be worth a try).

Most models now bring the low into Victoria by Friday night - expect
the forecast Melbourne Saturday max of 27 to be drastically 
downgraded on the next issue. GASP is then doing some weird and
wonderful things with a low in central Australia drifting south-
east, but I'll believe that when I see it (certainly UKMO and ECMWF
have nothing of the sort).

SEVERE THUNDERSTORM ADVICE
Issued at 2:40 pm on Thursday, 4 November 1999
For people in the Flinders district north of Hawker, the Northwest Pastoral
district east of the  Stuart Hwy and the Northeast Pastoral district north of
the Barrier Hwy.

Severe winds, large hail and very heavy rain are possible with thunderstorms in
these districts during this afternoon and evening.

If thunderstorms do develop in your area, localised damage may occur and 
you are
advised to take sensible precautions.  For example, secure loose outside
objects, move vehicles under cover and watch for flooded roads and 
watercourses.

Just a pity Hawker is 4-5 hours away by road and we have to work tomorrow

Hey all,

If you can, check the Darwin "storm cam" - it looks fantastic right now.

http://www.qantmnt.au-net.com/webcam/index.html

If you have access to radar and want to see a decent storm check Woomera
Local Radar - that cell has been in the red for over 30 mins.

And there has been a General Thunderstorm warning issued for Metro
Melbourne.  Check the web cam for cells to the E.

I don't know if it was anything to do with the radar, but I heard 
someone in the lift this morning saying that it was the first time
that they'd ever encountered a computer freezing up so badly that
even hitting the 'off' switch didn't help...

Before the Nikon I owned a OM2 as well, I was a great camera and I should
have kept it rather than trading. Before that I cut my teeth on wait for it
.....a Zenit, made in Russia. It was manual everything, but did not require
batteries. Despite its rather industrial build it was coupled with a decent
lens.

Hi all,

Its the server end on strikeone that is having the problems at the moment.
They have been getting a bit slow at times but not too sure what the problem
is.

See how it goes over the next few days.

Helios  - Pentax screw - plenty accesories available. I still use one of these
babies but theyr'e not silent the click of the shutter would drown out all but
the nearest thunder....

That and a "Leningrad" lightmeter - Russian tractor quality.

Hi every1,

I PROMISE I'll only send this once...but...what a cool summary of US weather 
that (apparently) occurs quite regularly (i.e. even in OUR off season 
)...

Kevin from Wycheproof.

P.S. BTW WX_StormyWeather is a great list!!!!
