Hi Greg, everyone..

Correct me if i'm wrong - but i think you're going to need an SLR camera
to be able to take decent lightning pictures? I can take night pictures
with my digi cam - but the shots are VERY speckly, and not much good for
anything..

I guess the best way to go is to consult a photography shop/expert about
it.. but i have seen digi cams advertised on the internet that take
several shots per second.. whether they're good for night time shooting
or not i don't know..

Hi Anthony, Everyone..

Yes i vaguely remember a phone call early on Monday morning - i didn't
make it to my lookout though.. i woke up on the lounge an hour later
with my digi cam by my side.. if Anthony had of said 'storm' i would
have been at my lookout by the end of the phonecall :P

I did get a few snaps of a nice sunset on Sunday though..

Probably the best one..

http://www.bsch.simplenet.com/pictures/assor/19-03-2000/19-03-200004.jpg

And a few more..

http://www.bsch.simplenet.com/pictures/assor/19-03-2000/


Notice how the horizon is on an angle in most of the shots? That's the
result of a buggered digi cam .. lucky it's still under warranty! They
want a couple of weeks to fix it too, but they're not getting it until
winter

Could you please make sure you tell me when you put your digicam in to
get fixed so that I can put aside some time for the massive cold pool &
130kn jet that will sit over SE QLD for a week?  The most convenient
time for me would be during my June/July uni holidays - however the
effect of me being on holidays might cancel out the effect that you not
having your digicam creates.

Forecasting on Murphy's Law can be remarkably accurate!  For example,
during December I informed them that the first 2 weeks of March would be
amongst the most active weeks of our thunderstorm season.  Well, due to
our dismal season, I believe we had more storm days in the first 2 weeks
in March, than the previous two months of Jan and Feb!!  The reason why
I said the first 2 weeks of March would be so active was because I went
back to uni then.

Other days for Murphy's Law are Jan 01, 2000 - when there were numerous
supercells in SE QLD, it was a classic setup for right movers (somewhat
rare).  Of course, we had relatives from overseas who were in Sydney and
originally unable to make it up here, call us on Dec 30 informing us
that they'll arrive on Jan 01 and spend just 23 hours with us before
going back home.

We have other relatives coming from overseas and staying with us for a
week during the week after Easter.  So I suggest Brisbanites have plenty
of film for then! :)

Do those more in the know than me on the list have some thoughts on the
 La Nina phase we are in and how long it might potentially last for?
 
 Is it reasonable to suggest a moderately (or less or more so? )positive
 SOI will persist into early winter and further?
 
 Would this positive SOI/La Nina event encourage more snowfalls this
 season, considering the amount of moisture around?
 
 Last winter we seemed to have more onshore (S/E) winds over the Central
 Tablelands and not as many colder south westerlies. Remember those
 gigantic, blocking highs?

Hi Everyone,

Got a bit of a surprise when i woke up this morning - looked out my
window to see a ragged shelf cloud heading towards me! Sure - this is
basically a coastal shower - but it definitely has that 'i'm a try hard
storm' look to it..

http://www.bsch.simplenet.com/pictures/assor/22-03-2000/22-03-200001.jpg

Unfortunately my car broke down at the servo (*sigh*) and i couldn't get
in a position to take decent pictures (ie. without power lines and
houses in the pictures).. but i did manage to borrow a bike (eeeek) for
a few minutes to grab these pictures..

http://www.bsch.simplenet.com/pictures/assor/22-03-2000/22-03-200004.jpg

I ended up with 6mm in under 5 mins.. which works out to be a rain rate
in excess of 70mm/h - radar showed light blue over me (2-10mm/h rain
rate)..

and following links further.

Also, and you may have it, go to
http://www.dnr.qld.gov.au/longpdk/

I have e-mailed your request to a friend of mine who is a senior scientist
(climatology) with the Qld Center for Climate Applications in Toowoomba.

Hi Bill, Lindsay & all,

Dr. David Jones might also have something to add if he
gets to read this...Good links, Bill...I've also posted
some stuff about what Lindsay raises in the past. 
Basically, I took a long, hard look at SOI v/s snowfall
and concluded that the correllation wasn't that good in
the region of the best seasons but that the worst seasons
certainly came along with drought periods typical of a 
very -ve SOI (El Nino). Very strong La Nina's were also 
not that good for snow since it seems that more rain fell
than snow, particularly in later seasons as the mean 
global and regional temperatures have risen. Best seasons
came with average, but slightly La Nina conditions.

When you delve more deeply, what happens in our winter
is very much a function of SST's in the Indian and Pacific
oceans near to Australia and the pattern of the Antartic 
Circumpolar Current. (ACC) that affects the Southern Ocean.
This creates, if you like, a "wave" that tends to direct
the formation, intensification and movement of weather
systems - the blocking high effect. Moving that wave west
or east of its "norm" means the difference between lots
of snowy cold fronts over the Snowy Mountains or very few
at all. More important is a sustained moist-cold air flow
from the SW that brings large amounts of orographic
snowfall over many days. So if the conditions are right
to have the fronts build up and dump in the right place
with the SW air-flow remaining a few days, then we'll
get a good snow season.

When you examine SST anomally against MSLP anomally, it's
very easy to spot that a cold anomally encourages highs
and a warm anomally encourages lows. What's important for
our snow is where these lows come from i.e warm or cold
cored. Too much warm water in the Indian Ocean is bad
news for cold-cored lows. Same goes for the Pacific and
down south. Look for average to slightly colder conditions
in both the Indian, Pacific and Southern Oceans where our
winter lows come from. This is just about optimal for the 
best seasons. As for the coming season, I'm yet to stick
my neck out and shoot for a prediction, but looking at
the SST's is encouraging. About May is a better time.

Other SOI/El Nino/La Nina links that are worthwhile
examining can be found at;

http://www.ogp.noaa.gov/enso/

The one at COLA is pretty good also;

http://grads.iges.org/nino/

The current La Nina phase is predicted to strengthen
during our winter and return to average by the end
of our summmer in 2001. This is historically good for
rain and not snow, but there have been some exceptions
provided the SST's stay lower.

SST anomalies are slightly warmer in the immediate
regions of Indian and Pacific Oceans. There are pockets
remaining of a cold anomaly east of QLD, but that seems
to be weakening. Immediately south is slightly warmer
also as the very warm Indian Ocean Anomaly is breaking
up and dissipating in the W to E current under Australia.
Further south than this is more cold anomaly, so the
outlook is for basically near average SST's all around.
This is good for snow. My only fear is a body of very
warm water near East Africa that might make it's way
east and warm up our winter water to the south. Watch
this space...Otherwise, it looks like being colder than
average temperature-wise. Combine that with average
SST's and lots of moisture in my mind adds up to a
good snow season coming up. But then, I'm not making
a prediction, are I?

But at the end of the day, much of our winter weather
originates and is affected by the Indian & Southern
Oceans which I think only the BoM has any state-of-
the-art models derived from. I just wish they had the 
funding to make them as flashy and open as some of the 
others...

Hi Anthony,

Yes I did notice the rainbow, and it was over the CBD.  I was on the train.
The train had just left Albion station (approx 7:50 am) and we where
travelling throught the Mayne goods yard.  I did not notice that it was
particularly bright.

A few months ago a rainbow "travelled" with the train from Bald Hills all
the way to Northgate.  It appear to be only a few 100 meters away too.

Regards,

Anthony Spierings

Hey All

With the help of Ben Quinn, thanks again Ben, I have added a java viewer for
my sat pic animations

This has made it a lot easier to update the site.

Test it out here

http://members.xoom.com/nsykes/sesatpics/javasatpic.html


Updates will be whenever I can until I have worked out a way of automating
the cropping of the pics and uploading them to my site.

Basically if I am on icq, the animation will be updated hourly.

Today's Animation shows the beautiful frontal passage over SE Australia
