Hi Nick - what was the costs of this "setup"? What does it enable you?

Cheers, Paul.

Subject: aus-wx: S.E Australia Sat Pics

Hey all

Recently I have had a permanent cable modem internet connection installed.

This has allowed me to set-up regular downloads of weather data, for
instance satellite pictures

As a result I have decided to put together a sat pic archive page.

Once the site is completed I will have archived sections of the days sat
pics, including an animation sequence.

At present I have set-up a image viewer where you can select the separate
sat pics for the day (about 60k). As well I have a 24 hour animation of the
days sat pics.

Warning the animations are about 5MB in size, I have provided a zipped
version on the site which can be downloaded with resuming software
(getright, gozilla etc).

The Daily animations will be updated roughly at 7pm each night and if a
major weather event is happening and I have the time, more regular updates
will be included.

I also hope to in future, if time allows, set-up up a memorable events
section where the sat pics for say a flooding event or cyclone will be
stored.

The sat pics are based on the NPMOC gms-5 IR and are of high quality.

Hope you enjoy this site.

Test Version can be viewed at

60.8, Lindsay, and a further 6.8 in the gauge to 11am. Mt Boyce had
47.4 and Katoomba 64. In the Sydney area Parramatta got 57, Prospect
55, Homebush 53 and the rest were mostly in the 40s. Heaviest falls
were in the lower Hunter -- Williamtown 71 (28mm 6 to 9am), Narara 61
(11), Tocal near Paterson 58, Mangrove Mtn 54 (7), Nobbys 52 (11).

The inland isn't missing out -- Lake Cargelligo got an isolated 45mm,
24h to 9, and a lot of falls around the inch mark in the central west.
And in the period 6 to 9am there were widespread heavy falls -- those
already mentioned in the Hunter, plus Bourke 12, Norah Head 15, Parkes
AP 17, Bankstown 23, Homebush 27, Canterbury 19, Sydney AP 18, Obs
Hill 17, Holsworthy 21, Bellambi 12, Ulladulla 6.

I'm about to get the synoptic charts up to date.

Since changing work locations, I managed to get the ASWA archive
of selected radar, NPMOC gmsc, gmsd and gmsfull satpics plus BoM
MSLA charts working again effective from 200003200430 UTC 
(200003201530 AEST). It would have been earlier had it not been
for a router configuration error.

Could those who have offered to save me BoM MSLA charts please
contact me with upload details. Thanks in advance.

As for Sydney radar obs, I knocked up an animation of the last
12 hours or so. There seems to be the hint of a developing low
inland centred about the Wollemi NP area west of Williamtown.
The cyclonic pattern of circulation seemed evident from about
1800 UTC (0500 AEST). Latest BoM MSLA seems to support a decent
trough forming about that area. Perhaps this will further
intensify to an ECL after this current "low" in the Wollemi
NP moves off-shore. I refuse to look at "models" though AVN
seemed to have got the prediction close according to Laurier
yesterday:-)

G'day Ian,

It looks like the Thunderstorm activity early Saturday
morning was restricted to the "central" North. The
storms weren't all that great as they were moving
quite fast, so you never missed much.

An unexpectedly cold night in Tasmania with some much drier (and cool)
air making its way north. Liawenee recorded -5 (rounded), a possible
state record for March (currently -5.1), and there were several other
sub-zero readings, including a -3 at Tunnack, which if I recall 
correctly isn't all that high. 

Also the coolest night in most of Victoria for a couple of months,
with 4s at several low-level sites (Coldstream, Casterton, Mortlake,
Latrobe Valley), although only 13 at Melbourne itself. Normally this
wouldn't be grounds for much excitement (indeed 13 at Melbourne is
barely below average), but after the last few weeks it's a welcome
change.

With the dry air and fresh northerlies forecast tomorrow, near-extreme
fire dangers are expected in parts of Victoria tomorrow, although I'd
be surprised if temperatures got much beyond 30. Melbourne has only
had 3.6mm for the month (still just below the 1934 monthly record of
3.7) and most of the area west of Melbourne has had less than 10.

G'day Blair,

Yes!...it was good to be able to sleep under the
covers again! Devonport recorded a min of 8 which is
not too cold...the best is yet to come! I was up at
Liawenee yesterday enjoying a "spot of fishing" on my
day off and there was a nice cold South-Wester
blowing, (perfect for fishing), so I could see why it
was so cold over night. (please don't ask how many I
caught!)

I think the rain gods must have blessed Seven Hills as well..97mm here
since Sunday afternoon and 245mm in the last 15 days. 
Hoping to beat the record of 309.6 (1978). Only that year and 2 others
have been wetter than this year for March.
And that storm we had on Sunday dumped 30mm in 25 minutes.
Presently only very light rain..looks like the predicted fine spell is
not far away..?

How high would a mountain in that area (North Queensland) have to be  to get
snow?.

I think Blair has something posted about this earlier. I'd
say that snow has on rare occasions fallen in the highest
parts of N.QLD, probably overnight...To get snow more 
regularly, just take about 6C away for each 1000m increase
in height until you hit a mean low of 0C. That's about it, 
which according to the above data would be 1170m or so
above BK. Further, for each 20 year period into the future, 
increase that altitude by a further 150m...That's the global
warming allowance:-) Then if you want snow on the ground,
then shoot for an altitude where the mean max is less than
3C during the snowy times with the min is less than 0C. If
you take a look a Thredbo village, snow is usually on the
ground there during July when the mean max is 4.9C but
there are days in July where there is no snow cover at all.
Back to Cairns, July is 25.6 max and 16.3 min. Take that
down by 6C/1000m to 3C gives about 3770m. This gives a 
mean July min of around -6.3C that compares favourably 
to one of Australia's snowiest places, Charlottes Pass, 
at -6.9C mean min for July, which is admittedly in a 
"frost hollow".

Hope you all enjoy the pics. I will post some more on the net as soon as I can.
 
Regards,

Hi all.
 
Has anyone had any experience taking lightning photos with a digital camera? If so any tips. What features should I look for in a digital camera to take these photos. Obviously with a 35mm camera it is a matter of opening the shutter and wait, but how is it done with a digital?
 
Thanks

Has anyone had any experience taking lightning photos with a digital camera? If so any tips. What features should I look for in a digital camera to take these photos The camera must be fired at the same time as the lightning strike. AFAIK long exposures are quite difficult, some of them shoot a series of frames when you hit the button but this'll eat your flash (no pun intended) memory. The way I'm going to do it is by using my DX-10 in video mode and capture an MPEG movie at one frame every 1/4 second or so and hope (: When on the road I'm going to trust to luck and hit the fire button at the time I see the lightning and once again hope that it's a long duration flash... or possibly use my laptop to capture the images in the same way as above.
