Dear friends of SRH et al.,

	In response to Anthony's questions,  here are some
nitty-gritty [spelling?] bits regarding SRH and 
thermodynamics:


SRH: This is an example of how easy it is to halve a
given SRH value:

Assume linear vertial shear from 270:  V = lambda*z i
with lambad = 10 m/s / km;
Assume that the storm moves at an angle alpha 
clockwise from vector i at speed C:   c = C cos(alpha) i + C sin(alpha) j
Assume an LFC at h = 3000m.

Then, SRH = - C sin(alpha) lambda h = - 300 sin(alpha) m^2 s^{-2}.
A storm moving from 60 degrees (alpha=210 deg.) has SRH = +150 m^2 s^{-2},
a strom moving from ~75.5 degrees (alpha=194.48) has SRH = +75..
An angle of 15.5 degrees (well within the common error bounds)
halves the SRH!!


How to get the virtual temp. Tv from measured quatities (T,Tw,p):

Use energy conservation: the energy required to evaporate 
[(mv)_saturated - (mv)_originally] kg of water into
an "original" parcel at pressure p (definition of wet bulb
temperature) is equal to the energy drawn from the md kg
of dry air in the original parcel (lowering
its temperature from T to Tw).  Thus

   L(mvs - mv) = md cpd (T - Tw)

L = energy needed to evaporate 1 kg of water
mvs = mass of vapour when parcel is saturated at temperature Tw
mv = mass of vapor in the original parcel
md = mass of dry air in the parcel
cpd = specific heat (at const. press. p (measured)) of dry air
T = temperature of the original parcel (measured)
Tw = wet bulb temperature (measured) 

Neglected energy drawn to lower temp. of original water
vapour in the parcel.
Division by md results in mixing ratios r = mv/md and
rs = mvs/md:

   r = rs - (cpd/L) (T - Tw)

With r = 0.622 e / (p-e)   (e = partial pressure of water vapour):

   e(p,T,Tw) = es(Tw) - Ap( T - Tw)

where the "psychometric constant" is 

   A = cpd ( 1 - es/p ) / ( 0.622 L )

If you plonck the formula for the mixing ratio r into 

   Tv = (1 + 0.61r) T

you get the virtual temperature from your measurements 
of (p,T,Tw).

If you are still reading through this mail message, seek
medical advice at once ... :)

I've needed medical advice ever since I started throwing ice onto the
roof to simulate hail   (PS, get a 2L ice cream container, they're
quite fun to throw up into the air, and watch it smash onto the concrete
- this method would work much better on say a disliked neighbours car
though!)

All models show a trough of varying intensity edging across Victoria
between the 24th and the 27th, with GASP and the EC both now having 
closed lows on the trough in its later stages (GASP has formed its
by the 25th, the EC on the 26th). The EC has a low on the 27th in
about the same location as the one on the same date last year - but
about 30 hPa higher in central pressure!

This is a 30-day running mean; the end-of-month figure is likely to
be lower than this, as some high daily values (in the 20s) from the
last week of November fall out of the running mean.

Daily updates are posted on the Queensland DNR's site (www.dnr.qld.gov.au/
longpdk), although this won't be operating over the Christmas-New Year
period.

Hi all,

A few congestus have begun to glaciate to the south of Canberra.
Hopefully a sign of things to come for later in the week.

Patrick

PS I thinks some of the Sydney to Hobart contestants must be
beginning to have some butterflies looking at some of the models.
GASP's prediction of 986 low just south of Tas for the 27th could
bring back some nasty memories. A low in this position and
timing is probably of greater interest (and  concern?) to the
Melbourne - Hobart racers going around the west coast.

Thanks  Paul M for the SOI update - things are starting to
look interesting for the start of 2000!!

Howdy Patrick & all.

Its amazing that at htis time of year those massive deep Southern Lows always
pop up for the race - those poor yachties!!

I wonder what the increasing SOI will do Country wide? Has anyone got an idea -
I know that they generally say that it may lead to higher rain for some parts -
but is there any more specific info?

Ps Good luck later in the week - our forecast sounds great - Showers, and
storms (noe the plural!!)

Paul.

Here in Missouri the temp is down to -11 C and still dropping.  Still have
some snow on the ground.  But with the wind it is bitter!  Enjoy your

I've heard that Mrs Claus hates that when that happens  Sorry too good to 
resist.

To make this email wx related in some way - I think you have made just about 
all of us jealous with that description, wish I was still up there 
sometimes. Looking good for SE quarter of Aust over the weekend as some 
people have already mentioned - couple of nice TCu over the ranges to the 
east of Melb this arvo, which I always regard as a precursor to storms for 
Melbourne when the next change or trough domes through - more local 
knowledge (allegedly ) than anything else

If I don't post again b4 Xmas day I wish everyone on the list a great 
Christmas and a fantastic New Year

Chris

Well actually it has been a very cool summer here in the Illawarra ( South
Coast , NSW ), we are struggling to reach 23C on most days, and at night a
blanket is still nice.

I have been watching this one as well. Last year NOGAPS picked the closed
low from about 120h out, then dropped it, only the rekindle it on about 72h
out. It was also much higher than what resulted.

That bring back scary memories of the chase that accompanied it. Mr Bust 
chase himself, me and Matt Smith all recall how the promise of a great day 
turned to a massive bust as this low developed. Well Matt Smith was 
sleeping in the back a fair bit of the time - hehe, so he wouldn't have 
known too much. Sorry Matt - no rest for the wicked. There was a lack of 
moisture that day and I suppose you have to get out there and chase to get 
experience of the weather in the country. Although I picked out the fact 
there was no low cloud - hence less moisture, I didn't think it was that 
deficient.

Hello all,
	What a year we have had and we are approaching a new year which 
is bound to be a very active year in the terms of thunderstorms. We are 
about to embark on a new era of the 21st century. With both the 
technological breakthroughs in the field of meteorology and the methods 
conceived over the hundreds of years of weather observation, the up 
coming century will prove to be a remarkable time of meteorological 
discoveries and breakthroughs. 
	As we, the members of the Australian Severe Weather Association 
chase and follow these advances made in the field we all love almost 
religiously, we will be the key in the near future to the understanding 
of Australian severe weather and perhaps educate the Australian public 
of these discoveries which will be credited to ASWA which may place us 
amongst the global meteorological world. 
	On a more personal note, I wish to extend my family and my best 
wishes for a wonderful christmas and festive season. May you all enjoy a 
safe and joyful introduction into the 21st century. I look forward to 
catching up with everyone again soon. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND ALL TAKE CARE!
Hope you get all the presents you wished for from Santa :)

		MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

						Yours sincerely,
					        Dean AL Sgarbossa

We have had strong sea breezes since the  wind changed to a South Westerly this
might have a effect on inland night temperatures.
